Fertile Hope Launches 1st Online Fertility Options Calculator for Cancer Patients & Survivors
Submitted by The Stupid Cancer Blog.
NEW YORK, NY, Nov 18, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) — Fertile Hope announces the first online fertility options calculator for cancer patients and survivors. The majority of young adult cancer patients are at risk for infertility from their cancer treatments and have limited time to learn their risks and act on available fertility preservation options. To serve this need, Fertile Hope built a revolutionary new educational tool with the stress, emotions and time sensitivity of the patient in mind. Available exclusively at www.fertilehope.org, the options calculator allows users to input personal information, access family building options, and act quickly on the information.
“Newly diagnosed with cancer it was challenging, emotional and stressful to dive into the reproductive world to decide which fertility preservation options were best for me,” said Melissa Schiller, 3.5-year Hodgkins Lymphoma cancer survivor and new mom thanks to embryos she froze before cancer treatments. “A decision tool like Fertile Hope’s new options calculator would have been an invaluable resource — a time saver and stress reliever!”
Instead of overwhelming patients with a laundry list of options, users see only what is relevant to their situation. For example, if a woman is an ovarian cancer survivor who had her ovaries removed, she doesn’t want have to sort through information about egg freezing or ovarian tissue freezing. The calculator can also be used by oncology healthcare professionals to provide customized information for their patients.
