Message - Please add why fertility preservation means something to you. A personal story, a friend who struggled, your own fertility experience. For example:

My name is_____. I am proud to share I am a cancer survivor who fought and won three battles with cancer during my 30s. My experience with cancer meant that my life saving treatment had a direct effect on my ability to become a biological mother.

More than 89,000 Pennsylvanians are diagnosed with cancer each year - nearly 4,000 are young adults. While survival rates are on the rise, lifesaving treatments, including chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, carry a high likelihood of permanent infertility. For patients of reproductive age, fertility preservation is often medically recommended prior to treatment, yet these services are costly and inconsistently covered, leaving many without meaningful access for family building options.

As your constituent, I am writing to ask for your support for an upcoming legislative effort in Pennsylvania to improve access to fertility preservation services for individuals diagnosed with cancer.

We are working with legislators on both sides of the aisle to advance a bill ensuring standard fertility preservation coverage for those patients who may be rendered infertile as a side effect from their cancer treatment. We must address gaps in coverage across private insurance plans, the Commonwealth employee health plan, as well as Medicaid, so access to care does not depend on employment status, income, or a specific health plan. Without this clarity, patients may be forced to make irreversible decisions under extreme time and financial pressure immediately after diagnosis.

Would you be willing to join this effort as a co-sponsor or otherwise lend your name in support as the legislation is prepared for introduction? Early and bipartisan support will be essential to advancing a thoughtful, medically grounded proposal that serves patients and families across the Commonwealth.

No one should be forced to choose between life-saving cancer treatment and the future possibility of building a family. Pennsylvania has an opportunity to lead with compassion and fairness by ensuring that all patients have access to this essential care.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
