Cancer
We provide women affected by cancer, and their family, with a comprehensive, expert intervention during all phases of breast and female (gynecologic) cancers, from diagnosis to healing, and posttreatment.
Female cancers include cervical, ovarian, uterine, vaginal, vulvar, endometrial, colon and rectal. However, do not hesitate to reach out to us with any other cancer diagnosis.
While women will easily grasp the need for medical intervention, emotional help is often forgotten, or left out by the medical team, or not sought because the woman is afraid to face the concerns that are so typically associated with cancer, or does not know where to find proper help, or be too overwhelmed to even think about it.
Therefore, we offer a wide range of options to choose from for at any stage of the process as per the particular needs of each woman:
Medical services:
Dilator introduction prior to treatment
Restoration of vaginal penetrations post-intervention
Restoration of vaginal function due to estrogen suppression medications
Restoration of vaginal use after radiation
Continence guidance
Genital care & hygiene
Emotional support services:
Sexual intervention:
The following list illustrates the emotional toll cancer takes, and can also be used as a guide to encourage your loved one/friend/patient that it is time to seek help:
Managing treatment side effects (hair loss, fatigue, chemo brain)
Fears about death and dying
Depression, anxiety and isolation
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Fertility concerns and egg harvesting
Reluctance/fear of resuming sexual intimacy
Affected self esteem, poor self-image, fear of dating and intimacy
Returning to work during treatment
Talking to children and loved ones about cancer
