THE PEONY CARE PLAN™
A Shared Framework for More Integrative Breast Cancer Care
Helping women, practitioners, and support teams stay aligned around what matters most.
Breast cancer care has become increasingly specialized.
Women may work with oncologists, surgeons, radiation specialists, nurses, rehabilitation providers, mental health professionals, nutrition experts, integrative practitioners, and supportive care providers throughout diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and survivorship.
Each person plays an important role.
Yet women are often left coordinating the experience themselves.
The Peony Care Plan™ was created to provide a shared framework that helps women stay informed, practitioners stay aligned, and support teams work from a common understanding of the journey ahead.
Because when everyone is working from the same plan, women are better supported.
WHY THE CARE PLAN EXISTS
Because Women Shouldn't Have to Connect the Dots Alone
The best support happens when women remain at the center of care and everyone is working toward the same goals.
Inspired by the continuity, communication, and coordination principles found in the midwifery model of care, the Peony Care Plan™ helps organize the many moving pieces of the breast cancer experience into one evolving framework.
FOR WOMEN
Greater clarity, confidence, and participation in care.
FOR PRACTITIONERS
A shared framework for communication, alignment, and support.
FOR BREAST CANCER DOULAS™
A practical roadmap for guiding women throughout the journey.
WHAT IS THE PEONY CARE PLAN™
A Personalized, Living Roadmap
Designed to evolve alongside diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and survivorship.
The Peony Care Plan™ helps women organize information, prepare for decisions, coordinate support, and actively participate in their care.
Unlike a medical treatment plan, it is not focused solely on treatment.
It is focused on the woman.
Her goals. Her questions. Her priorities. Her support system. Her life beyond appointments.
The Care Plan serves as a:
DECISION-MAKING FRAMEWORK
Helping women understand options, prepare questions, and make informed decisions.
COMMUNICATION FRAMEWORK
Helping women communicate effectively with providers, caregivers, and supporters.
COORDINATION FRAMEWORK
Helping bring together medical care, supportive care, complementary approaches, and everyday life into one organized plan.
TRACKING SYSTEM
Helping women monitor symptoms, treatments, appointments, recovery, and observations over time.
LIVING ROADMAP
Adapting as treatments, priorities, circumstances, and goals evolve.
THE SIX PILLARS
One Framework. Every Stage of the Journey.
The Care Plan evolves alongside a woman's changing needs and priorities.
UNDERSTAND YOUR DIAGNOSIS
Gain clarity about your cancer, treatment options, biomarkers, and the decisions ahead.
BUILD YOUR CARE TEAM
Create a coordinated network of oncology providers, complementary practitioners, caregivers, and supporters.
SUPPORT YOUR BODY DURING TREATMENT

THE JOURNEY
One Framework. Every Phase.
Supporting women from diagnosis through survivorship.
FOR PRACTITIONERS
A Shared Language Across Disciplines
Helping women and practitioners work from the same framework.
One of the greatest challenges in breast cancer care is fragmentation.
Each practitioner sees a different piece of the woman's experience.
The Peony Care Plan™ creates a common framework that can support communication, coordination, and continuity across disciplines.
It helps women arrive more informed.
It helps practitioners better understand the broader context of a woman's journey.
And it creates opportunities for more connected support across the continuum of care.
Benefits Include
- Better prepared patients
- More productive appointments
- Improved communication across providers
- Greater continuity of care
- Better integration of supportive services
- Increased patient engagement
- Reduced fragmentation throughout the journey
THE BREAST CANCER BOOK
A Resource You Can Confidently Share
Helping women stay informed, engaged, and prepared between appointments.
The Breast Cancer Book introduces women to the Peony Care Plan™ framework and helps them better understand the decisions, challenges, and opportunities that arise throughout diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and survivorship.
Written by Sarah Glynn during her own breast cancer treatment, the book combines evidence-informed education, practical tools, guided worksheets, and whole-person support into a single resource designed to help women navigate the journey with greater clarity and confidence.
For many women, the book serves as their first introduction to the Peony Care Plan™ framework and provides practical tools for beginning that process immediately.
For practitioners, it provides a trusted educational resource that can help women:
- Better understand their diagnosis and treatment options
- Prepare for appointments and ask better questions
- Organize information and priorities
- Engage more actively in their care
- Explore recovery and survivorship planning
- Build and implement a Peony Care Plan™
Because informed patients make more confident partners in care.
