Ep. 119 – The PJP Protocol Paradox: Why Prophylactic Antibiotics May Be Creating the Problem They're Trying to Prevent
from Thrive Through Cancer · host Season Johnson
In this episode, I dive into one of the most challenging decisions many cancer parents face—how to protect your child from infection without unintentionally causing further harm. We're talking about PJP (Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia) and the standard use of long-term prophylactic antibiotics during treatment. While the intention is to prevent a serious infection, I explore the growing concern that this approach may be compromising the very immune system it's meant to protect. Drawing from both research and my personal experience, I unpack what's often not discussed in the oncology setting and share a more supportive, integrative approach to protecting your child's health during treatment.
