Today in Tech

The cancer breakthrough that saved his life — and could save thousands more

This episode of Today in Tech is different.


Instead of talking about enterprise software or cybersecurity, we step inside one man’s fight for survival — and the revolutionary medical technology that helped save his life.


Keith Shaw is joined by Douglas Meijer (co-chairman, Meijer Inc.) and Dr. Brandon Mancini of BAMF Health to tell the astonishing story of how an often-overlooked cancer treatment called theranostics helped identify and target tumors that surgery and radiation couldn’t reach. After traveling overseas to receive life-saving care, Doug returned with a mission: bring this breakthrough to the United States so other patients wouldn’t have to leave the country for hope.


In this deeply personal conversation, they explore:

* What it feels like to receive a life-changing diagnosis

* How precision medicine is replacing “one-size-fits-all” cancer treatments

* Why theranostics acts like a guided missile against cancer — sparing healthy cells

* How a new wave of AI is accelerating imaging, diagnosis, and personalized care

* The barriers that still keep cutting-edge treatments out of reach for many patients

* Why the future of cancer care may finally be shifting toward real cures


This is a story about technology — but more importantly, it’s about hope, perseverance, and saving lives.


If you or someone you love has faced cancer, this episode shows what’s now possible — and why the next decade could be the most hopeful in cancer treatment history.
