What are some success stories with fertility preservation Patient Navigation?

The best stories that I have are the patients who we’ve met with and it’s not always the patients who preserve their fertility. It’s sometimes just the patients who have gathered enough information, who have searched their soul to decide what they’re going to do about this. We’ve had several patients who have gone through—I don’t even know the number—I mean I could give you the numbers of how many patients who have gone through emergency IVF at Northwestern during my timeline that I’ve been there and how many patients who have gone through ovarian tissue freezing, and I think that the best stories are the ones with the patients feeling that they were given the choice, that that’s the one that make them happiest. It’s not about what choice they made. It’s not about that they preserved embryos or they preserved eggs or that they preserved tissue. It’s about knowing that we were thinking about them in the future and that we were thinking about them beating their cancer and surviving their cancer in order to have this choice at some point in the future that you have being a parent, at some point in the future, be a reality. Those are the patients that seem to be the success stories to me. It’s not about the cancer patient who is able to get pregnant ‘cause certainly we’ve had those. It’s not about the cancer patient who is going to make all the news in the newspapers. It’s about the cancer patients who feel that they were informed, that we were working with them, that we were thinking about them as a survivor, thinking about their longevity and trying to see if we could do anything to preserve their fertility.
