Navigating Prostate Cancer: Diagnosis Through Survivorship

Through my attendance at HealtheVoices 2019, I had the good fortune to meet Andrew Schorr, the founder of Patient Power. In their own words…… Patient Power® is devoted to supporting cancer patients, care partners and other loved ones through education and advocacy – to get the right treatment at the right time working with the right healthcare team.

A couple of months later I was approached to do an interview with their Prostate Cancer Community Manager, Andrea Hutton that I just learned was published on their PCa page in October. You can watch for yourself by clicking on this link ; hopefully for our veterans, there won’t be too much new. And from my standpoint, it’s a great visual lesson in how to improve my interviewing technique!!
