In this episode, we tackle the difficult topic of what happens when a patient’s treatment doesn’t work or stops working. You’ll hear from three patients who’ve faced this situation and learn how they navigated the process of making decisions about their treatments, including how they approached discussions with their health care team to determine the best plan for this new stage of their diagnosis.
Topics of discussion:
