Welcome to the seventh episode of Care Partner's Compass: Navigating CRC where I talk about my wife Kristine's very recent immunotherapy trial and all that it entailed.
This is the first episode where I talk about something that is so recent (spoiler alert, she exited the trial officially this weekend). So I don't have the benefit of time and other experiences for comparison. It's still very fresh, and upsetting. But, that's how stage 4 cancer works. As a care partner, you make sure that your loved one has all the information that they need to make an informed decision, and then back them up and care for them.
Cancer is hard. And change is hard. But having options is everything. We just need a lot more of them. Hence, trials. There will be a future episode on how to find trustworthy information, and also how to search for trials.

Host, producer/editor, and composer: Elsa Lankford
Kristine - I know this was difficult. But I know that the immunotherapy and chemo are going to work together to kick some cancer butt.
