About This Episode
After a diagnosis, every Siteman patient and their team develops a treatment plan. And every treatment plan becomes as unique as the patient it supports. Chuck learned how to tailor a treatment plan firsthand as he acted as a caregiver to his son and then when he faced a cancer diagnosis himself. In the episode Chuck shares his experience and is joined by Tate Rondot, Siteman’s Manager of Support Services. Both are involved in Siteman’s Patient and Family Advisory Council (PFAC), a group dedicated to helping every patient create the plan they need during their cancer care. They offer considerations and resources that personalize patients’ treatment from diagnosis to hospice and every stage in between.
