  • Resumen

  • In today’s episode, Andy, a stage four prostate cancer patient, shares his experience undergoing three Theranostics treatments. Joining us is Lynn Hiestand, a registered nurse who has been guiding Andy through his journey. Together, we discuss what Theranostics is, how it works, and the impact it’s had on Andy’s health. Here are three takeaways: Theranostics vs. Traditional Chemotherapy: Unlike chemotherapy, which affects both cancerous and healthy cells, Theranostics specifically targets cancer cells, reducing side effects like hair loss and nausea. This leads to a better quality of life for patients. Andy described feeling "weird" during chemotherapy but much better with Theranostics, calling it a game-changer. Accessibility and Insurance Challenges: Insurance coverage for Theranostics varies, making access difficult for some patients. Lynn emphasizes the need for self-advocacy and exploring options, including international clinics. This discussion is crucial for those navigating cancer treatment. The Importance of Education and Awareness: Both Andy and Lynn emphasize the need for greater awareness and education about Theranostics among healthcare professionals and patients alike. Many doctors may not be familiar with this treatment, which can lead to missed opportunities for patients seeking alternatives to traditional therapies. By sharing stories like Andy's and discussing the benefits of Theranostics, we can help spread the word and potentially save lives. Great news: Pluvicto has just been FDA-approved for stage 4 prostate cancer without the need for chemo first! This means more people can now access this treatment option. Tune in now to learn more!
