PHEN Director of Clinical Trials and Patient Education Dr. Keith Crawford held a presentation at the Dallas Prostate Cancer Community Rally titled Understanding Your Treatment Options. He began by explaining how emotional the process of receiving a cancer diagnosis is. It’s difficult to pay attention to any other information when you’ve just been told you have cancer. However, PHEN has created tools and programs for all men to use on their prostate cancer journey.
PHENPath.com is a useful resource for patients to learn more about prostate cancer treatment pathways. This free portal can be used to find reliable information that you can speak with your physician about, explained Dr. Crawford. It provides therapy information based on your specific prostate cancer diagnosis. He showcased the website to the audience during his presentation.
Lastly, two panelists, Ms. Kerri Winters, MSN, OCN, RN, Clinical Educator from Texas East at Johnson & Johnson, along with Llewellyn Fambles, a prostate cancer survivor and PHEN Ambassador, spoke about their experiences with prostate cancer treatments.
