In this episode of Learn Chat Share, Daniel Wathen sits down with Valerie Rutz to delve into her inspiring journey of fighting cancer. Valerie shares her experiences in managing her treatment, navigating the ups and downs, and the importance of being your own advocate. While traditional treatments like surgeries and chemotherapy are often the first line of defense, there are times when it's necessary to explore alternative options. Whether due to treatment challenges or stalled progress, we discuss the importance of having a comprehensive approach to cancer care. Our conversation aims to equip you with valuable insights and information, empowering you to advocate for the best possible treatment tailored to your unique diagnosis, and to seek options beyond what may be traditionally recommended.
