    What to bring to the meeting

    • Your child’s diagnosis, the hospital’s name, and what you need help with.

    What happens next

    • The medical team places the fertility preservation consult request, urgently when treatment timing requires it.
    • The fertility preservation team or nurse navigator contacts the family to review risk, options, timing, and any specialized service needed.
    • Confirm that the consult will occur before treatment begins when fertility-preserving action is time-sensitive.

After your care team sends it

Confirm with the medical team or fertility nurse navigator that the consult timing protects any pre-treatment options.
