Breast cancer treatment involves multiple specialists and complex decisions. Your advocate coordinates between oncologists, surgeons, and radiation doctors, ensuring everyone agrees on your treatment plan. They schedule appointments in the right order and help you understand each step of your cancer journey.
From lumpectomy to mastectomy to reconstruction, surgical decisions are deeply personal. Your advocate explains all options, arranges consultations with surgeons, and helps you understand reconstruction choices. They ensure you have the information and support to make decisions that feel right for you.
Chemotherapy means managing schedules, side effects, and insurance approvals. Your advocate coordinates infusion appointments, helps you access anti-nausea medications, and connects you with resources for wigs and head coverings. They ensure you have comprehensive support through every round of treatment.
With Solace, you get both a patient advocate and a supporting physician, which we refer to as your “care team”.
Your advocate will be there to manage the day to day aspects of your care: coordinating with doctors, researching potential solutions and communicating updates to you.
Your supporting physician can unlock resources for you and your advocate that might otherwise be out of reach.
BRCA testing and genetic counseling can reveal important information about your cancer and family risk. Solace advocates help you understand genetic testing options, coordinate counseling appointments, and navigate insurance coverage for testing. They help you process results, understand implications for family members, and make informed decisions about preventive surgeries. Your advocate ensures genetic information guides your treatment plan appropriately without overwhelming you.
Breast reconstruction involves multiple surgeries, different technique options, and coordination between oncology and plastic surgery teams. Solace advocates help you understand immediate versus delayed reconstruction, explain implant versus flap procedures, and coordinate the complex scheduling. They ensure your oncologist and plastic surgeon communicate, manage insurance approvals for each stage, and arrange post-surgical care. Your advocate guides you through reconstruction decisions with sensitivity and expertise.
After active treatment, breast cancer survivors need ongoing monitoring, hormone therapy management, and support for lasting side effects. Solace advocates maintain your surveillance schedule, coordinate mammograms and oncology follow-ups, and ensure hormone therapy side effects are addressed. They connect you with lymphedema therapists, help manage treatment-induced menopause, and find survivorship programs. Your advocate provides continuous support as you transition from patient to survivor.
Breast cancer affects body image, sexuality, fertility, and mental health in profound ways requiring specialized support. Solace advocates connect you with oncology social workers, fertility preservation specialists, and therapists who understand cancer's emotional impact. They help you access financial assistance, coordinate child care during treatment, and find peer support groups. Your advocate ensures you have comprehensive support for all aspects of life affected by breast cancer.
