Paul Bristow

Paul Bristow, 69, prostate cancer, Norton, with his wife, Kathy ● Paul has metastatic prostate cancer, which means his cancer has spread. He wasdiagnosed in August 2019. Throughout his cancer journey Paul has felt he’s in greathands with his Dana-Farber care team.● The disease causes pain which has been challenging at times, especially since Paulloves to be active, even as a rider on the PMC.● This past year, his cancer was still progressing, despite previous treatments. That’swhen he learned there was a new treatment available that was just approved by theF-D-A, thanks to a clinical trial.● It’s a radio-pharmaceutical, which means it is a nuclear medicine. It’s a drug that isinjected and targets the radiation precisely to the tumor.● Paul was the first patient at Dana-Farber to undergo this cutting-edge treatment,going to the Chestnut Hill location to receive it.● Paul and his wife say when they learned about this new treatment option, they felthope and were thankful that Dana-Farber can offer it and appreciative of the scienceand research that made this treatment possible.● In his spare time, in addition to staying active, he loves to travel. Prostate cancer facts● Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men (after skin cancer).● The American Cancer Society’s estimates for prostate cancer in the United States for2022 are about 268,490 new cases of prostate cancer.● About 1 man in 8 will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime.● Prostate cancer begins when cells in the prostate gland start to grow out of control.The prostate is a gland found only in males.● Almost all prostate cancers are adenocarcinomas. These cancers develop from thegland cells (the cells that make the prostate fluid that is added to the semen).● Most prostate cancers are found early, through screening. Early prostate cancerusually causes no symptoms. Symptoms can include problems urinating, blood inurine or semen, pain in the hips, back, or chest, and weakness or numbness in thelegs or feed.● New research on gene changes linked to prostate cancer is helping scientists betterunderstand how prostate cancer develops. This could make it possible to designmedicines to target those changes. Sarah Sallan, RN, Nurse Practitioner, Jimmy Fund Clinic, Dana-Farber● She earned her Master’s in Science at the University of Pennsylvania and started as aSolid Tumor Nurse Practitioner in the Jimmy Fund Clinic in December of 2019.● She primarily sees patients with osteosarcoma and germ cell tumors, but also othersolid tumor diseases.
