Cancer care doesn't end after treatment, and for men, the silence around recovery is deafening. This changes that.

In this powerful episode of Down There, host Laura welcomes back Steve Hentzen one last time a 15-year prostate cancer survivor, co-founder of Prostate Network, and now co-creator of a groundbreaking new app designed specifically for men recovering from prostate cancer.

Together, they unpack the origin story of the app, born from a shared frustration: doctors telling men to "diet and exercise" without providing real guidance. Backed by the University of Kansas Cancer Center and developed in collaboration with survivors, oncologists, physical therapists, and behavior change experts, this free, secure app is the first of its kind in the U.S. It’s here to change the way men recover.
