Integrative care for metastatic colorectal cancer - a patient’s story
Manage episode 326688862 series 3324006
In this episode of the Synthesis Clinic podcast, you will be hearing from one of our wonderful patients, Helen, who has had a truly transformational journey since finding Dr Nina and our team. With a 5-year history of metastatic colorectal cancer, Helen has certainly had a challenging time but despite an initial rocky ride through multiple treatments, she has stabilised and thrived. Helen is continuing to undergo cancer treatment but now has a completely different quality of life and newfound resilience, as well as feeling heard and seen as a whole human being, not just her cancer diagnosis.
During her time at the clinic Helen has worked with Dr Nina Fuller-Shavel for integrative medicine input, Octavia Hamilton for post-operative rehabilitation and building strength and Aga Kehinde for emotional wellbeing support. The liquid biopsies that are mentioned in the episode include Guardant360 and Datar Cancer Genetics Exacta.
