What does it mean to be a care partner?
You may need to ask the tough questions and start the hard conversations
Before your loved one was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer, you were his spouse, child, friend, or sibling. But your role has changed. Now, you’re his partner through this journey. You may be exhausted at times, but you’re resilient as well in your ability to be there for him. Your voice in conversations with his doctor will be great support for an active approach to his care.
Here are some steps to help you advocate for him in this crucial time:
Learn about his treatment options, including PLUVICTO.
Start the conversation.
Ask your loved one and his doctor questions:
- What are our goals and next steps for treatment?
- Do we know his PSMA status, and if not, should he have a PSMA-PET scan?
- How will we know if PLUVICTO is right for him now?
Find a path forward.
Some treatments may better fit the treatment goals for your loved one. Your advocacy can help in finding the best options for him.
Be there for him.
Here's some of what you can do:
- Help him prepare for his appointments by writing down notes to share with his doctor or questions to ask
- Accompany him at his appointments and take notes when talking to his care team
- Drive him to the treatment center and back
