Decisions about fertility preservation in young adults with cancer are often made under conditions of high subjective stress and time pressure. In women, these decisions are further complicated by the invasiveness of fertility preservation procedures, concerns about health risks of these procedures, and financial barriers. This article describes the rationale for and development of a brief decision support and stress management intervention for women aged 18-40 who are considering fertility preservation before cancer treatment. Case examples from participants are provided to illustrate the potential applicability of the intervention to survivors in a variety of circumstances.
