Summary

This trial studies a decision aid website to help make decisions about fertility in cancer patients. The website provides information about fertility preservation.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for people with certain cancers (like breast, colorectal, lymphoma/myeloma) who might face infertility due to treatment. Participants need internet access and an email address, must understand English, and haven't seen the Pathways decision aid before. Health care providers from a specific Houston location can also join.

What is being tested?

The study is testing if a website that helps with fertility decisions can assist cancer patients in choosing whether to preserve their ability to have children after treatment. It involves using the website and possibly filling out questionnaires.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves educational materials rather than medications or medical procedures, there are no direct physical side effects expected from participating.
