Personalized care

• Initial visit

  • Young women are assessed by the PYNK nurse to determine the needs of each patient and her family.

• Staging and treatment plan

  • The nurse helps support the patient with decision-making and also acts as a system navigator, enabling patients to receive timely referrals to a variety of specialists such as fertility experts, plastic surgeons and geneticists.

• Active treatment

  • Patients and their families need ongoing psychological support and maximum practical support. The latter may include information about nutrition, exercise, wigs, age-appropriate books for children, babysitting services, or referral to a child-life specialist.
