HealthTree Foundation empowers patients with blood cancers at each step of their disease journey - from diagnosis, through education, care and on to a cure. The HealthTree Foundation does this through three areas of support; simplified patient education, support research driven by patient needs, and the use of data to solve patient and research problems.
Absolutely terrific presentation by Dr Thompson! As a CLL-Small Cell B, I have just started Rx with Brukinsa for very bulky Axillary nodes. On the lookout for potential infections!
My dad is 67, turns 68 Feb 5th. He has non-small cell lung cancer and AML. He decided to do no treatment, and he has been told he has less than 6 months. He's refusing hospice, and as his daughter that lives in the home with him, all the responsibility is put on me. He also doesn't want to believe his pain is from the cancer. He believes he might not die or is hopeful he won't. This has been very hard to deal with. Any advice would be helpful.
Thank you for watching! I'm sorry to hear about your father's diagnosis. Being a caregiver in this situation is a big responsibility and can feel very overwhelming. We have several articles/events on caregiving that might be helpful. Reach out to me at mary@healthtree.org and I can share those resources with you!
