Individual Support
We are available to talk by phone with you about the emotional challenges of being diagnosed with gynecologic cancer, of going through treatment and adjusting to life after treatment. Contact us to set up a time to connect or fill out our Consent to Contact form and we will follow up with you. Our Individual Support Program (ISP) staff are master’s level counselors with mental health training. The program offers four complementary appointments by phone or video conferencing, designed to assist you through the difficult experiences that are commonly associate with a cancer diagnosis and treatment. The focus of these sessions can vary and will be based on your need for support with gynecologic cancer. Topics can include but are not limited to test anxiety, illness-based sadness and grief, fear of reoccurrence, intimacy issues, treatment issues, resources, relationships, and communication.
Please note: This service is not meant to be a replacement for mental health psychotherapy. If more professional support is needed, we can provide a resource list to help you connect with local therapists and national support programs that have expertise with individuals who have serious health conditions. Affordable counseling options and scholarships may be available.
The purpose of this program is to provide emotional assistance in the face of the stress and distress you may be experiencing related to your cancer diagnosis and treatment.
​
To get started, contact our CGCA Support Services Team to arrange a meeting time or ask questions. We look forward to connecting with you.

Woman to Woman (Peer Support)
The Woman to Woman program (from Sue's Gift Gynecologic Cancer Support) is a peer-to-peer support program that pairs newly diagnosed gynecologic cancer patients or patients currently in treatment with trained survivor volunteers who provide hope, support, understanding and encouragement from someone who has “been there.” If you are diagnosed with any gynecologic cancer, you can request a mentor – someone who can be with you through the duration of the diagnosis, treatment and recovery.
​
You can connect on the phone, exchange emails and texts or even meet one another via Zoom. The program is flexible and based on your needs and preferences. Talking with a survivor who understands the roller coaster range of emotions and who can help navigate the medical maze is an invaluable resource.
​
For questions or more information about the Woman to Woman program, contact Sue's Gift Patient Services Director and Woman to Woman Program Coordinator, Sherry Martin, for more information at: sherry@suesgift.org
