Meet LuAnn – For years, LuAnn has battled Psoriatic arthritis, a chronic inflammatory disease that primarily affects individuals with psoriasis. This condition causes joint pain, swelling, and stiffness, significantly impacting the quality of life for those who suffer from it. LuAnn, an avid walker, found her knee pain increasingly debilitating, preventing her from enjoying long walks.
Looking for relief, LuAnn consulted her rheumatologist, who introduced her to low-dose radiation therapy. Happy to learn about this non-surgical option, LuAnn decided to do her research. Her rheumatologist referred her to Cancer Partners.
After her fifth session, LuAnn noticed significant improvement in her mobility. The knee pain started to diminish, allowing her to increase the duration and frequency of her walks gradually.
It’s been over a year since completing her treatment, LuAnn remains free from joint pain and is considering undergoing the same therapy for her hips next.
