In this episode, we talk with Christy Donovan, DNP, RN, a Blood Cancer Coordinator at the the Blood and Marrow Transplant/ Leukemia Program at Northside Hospital Cancer Institute, about what survivorship really looks like after a stem cell transplant. The central message is that survivorship is not a finish line. It is a transition into a new normal. Many patients expect life to return to the way it was before diagnosis or transplant, but recovery usually feels slower, messier, and more emotional than that. Fatigue, side effects, fear, and frustration can last for months, and that does not mean something is wrong. It means recovery is still happening. We also focus on how important it is to set realistic expectations. Christy explains that early struggles do not define long term outcomes. A setback in the first weeks or months after transplant does not mean a patient will not go on to live a full and meaningful life. Recovery takes patience. Small wins matter. Walking to the mailbox, cooking a meal, or getting through a day with a little more energy can be major milestones. Over time, those moments add up. Another major theme is emotional recovery. We talk about the fear of recurrence and the challenge of learning what is normal after treatment versus what should be reported to a doctor. That education helps people feel more confident and less trapped by fear. We also touch on how easy it is to forget that some aches and pains may simply come with getting older, not always with cancer. That perspective can be grounding. Other survivors can be a valuable information resource, too. Support comes up again and again throughout the conversation. Caregivers remain important in survivorship, but their role changes. Friends, peer support, support groups, podcasts, and survivorship communities all help patients feel less isolated. Christy emphasizes the value of honesty and vulnerability, especially in telling people what kind of support is needed on a given day. Some days call for celebration. Some days call for rest. We also talk about the tension between wanting to get back to life and needing to stay safe. Many survivors ask when they can return to work, travel, attend church, or see family. That desire is a good sign. It shows hope. At the same time, it takes guidance from the healthcare team to know when and how to widen that protective bubble. The episode ends on a hopeful note. Christy shares that she does not think of one survivor story. She thinks of many faces. She describes the joy of seeing patients return months later looking stronger, brighter, and more like themselves. That image captures the heart of the episode. Survivorship is hard, but it is also full of possibility, growth, connection, and life after transplant.

Dr. Jim Berenson, Founder of the Institute for Myeloma & Bone Cancer Research and the Berenson Cancer Center, describes the Institute's work, which includes maintaining a large biobank of patient samples that support both its own research and that being conducted by external groups. This biobank is being used to develop new blood markers for faster disease diagnosis, to assess treatment efficacy, and to support drug development for multiple myeloma and other cancers. Real-time monitoring of patient symptoms with a mobile app is capturing critical, often-missed patient data and providing evidence of clinical trial success. Jim explains, "Myeloma is a bone marrow-based cancer of a type of white cell called a plasma cell. These cells normally make a type of protein antibody that helps us fend off infections. And what happens in myeloma is that one of these types of cells goes rogue and takes over the bone marrow.  As a result, these patients make lots and lots of only one type of antibody, and that protein becomes our tumor marker. They can get into trouble with their kidneys, their blood counts, their bones, and their immune system because they can become very compromised both by the disease and the treatment. Therefore, patients can develop frequent infections." "It's diagnosed mainly through blood work, bone marrow examination, and radiologic tests. The latter used to be X-rays, but today it is MRI, CT, or PET scans. The bone marrow test usually demonstrates too many plasma cells that are clonal, meaning they are all of one type. So, usually, the bone marrow plasma cells make up only one-half percent. Myeloma patients have no less than 10% and up to 99% plasma cells, and they are all of one type. They all make one antibody because normally one plasma cell makes one antibody, but this is a clone that's grown a lot in the bone marrow. So, because the bone marrow directly releases proteins into the blood, there's a lot of the myeloma cell-produced antibody in the blood and/or the urine of these patients." "We now have nearly 60,000 bone marrow and blood specimens collected over the last 25 years from our patients, and we collect them in a way that's very systematic. So we obtain blood weekly in the first month, and bone marrow when they undergo the procedure. And then after the first month, the blood is drawn and obtained for research and for the Biobank about every month. And this is a huge resource for not only our own research, which has uncovered two new blood biomarkers through the use of these samples. And we are also able to use the Biobank as a resource for other research groups and companies, whether biotech, pharma, or in vitro diagnostics, to see if they can find a new marker. So we send them a sample, and they can use it for their work." #IMBCR #MultipleMyeloma #HematologyOncology #PrecisionMedicine #PatientMonitoring #DigitalHealth #CancerResearch #Biomarkers #PersonalizedTreatment #QualityOfLife #MedicalInnovation IMBCR.org Download the transcript here

Meghan Gutierrez, CEO of the Lymphoma Research Foundation, and Jennifer Branstetter, the Executive Director, North America Corporate Affairs at BeOne Medicines, join me to discuss the growing use of AI in patient care with a specific focus on individuals with lymphoma and other blood cancers. Emphasis is on the necessity of a collaborative, patient-centric approach to developing AI tools, bringing together patient advocacy organizations, healthcare professionals, and pharma partners to provide accurate information to patients. The goal is to serve a diverse population by providing personalized, accessible information to help patients have more meaningful discussions with their healthcare providers, not to replace the clinician's role. Jen explains, "We know that tens of millions of people are using AI tools in general, like ChatGPT, for health questions, including patients with blood cancers like chronic lymphocytic leukemia or CLL, they're all turning to the different AI tools that are out there. And from our perspective, we see this continuous growth of use, we want to make sure that the right healthcare information is getting fed into those AI resources and tools so that patients are getting the most accurate information possible."   Meg elaborates, "Many patients are using these AI tools to make sense of everything from their PET scans to their blood results, to some of the treatment language they receive in their clinician's or doctor's office. And one of the things that I heard recently from a cancer patient who had uploaded his scans and some test results into an AI platform. And he called me incredibly concerned. He was very concerned about his prognosis and the limited treatment options that he believed were available to him." "So when I pressed further, I found out that this AI platform was the only source of information that he had. So I became concerned when I recognized that the information he received was antiquated. So the treatment results and some of the information he was working from in this incredibly anxious and anxiety-provoking moment were 10 years old. And so in this case, antiquated information was as dangerous as inaccurate information. And both of these remain top concerns at the Lymphoma Research Foundation. And I think across our sector, as we see more and more patients using these tools and platforms to help educate them about their disease and their treatment options." #LymphomaResearchFoundation #LRF #BeOneMedicines #LymphomaAwareness #AIinHealthcare #PatientAdvocacy #BloodCancer #HealthcareInnovation #PatientEmpowerment #PrecisionMedicine #CLL #HealthTech #CancerCare lymphoma.org BeOneMedicines.com Download the transcript here

Analysis from Pew shows state reserve funds — often called rainy day funds — largely fell in 2025. That's the first time that happened since the Great Recession. It's down from a record high for state rainy day funds nationwide just the prior year. But Louisiana actually had a record-high rainy day balance in 2025, but we can't rest easy, as it still falls short of the national average. To learn more about what this means and how the state uses reserve funds, we're joined by Page Forrest, associate manager of the Fiscal 50 project at The Pew Charitable Trusts. This Friday, LSU's Reilly Center for Media and Public Affairs will present its 2026 John Breaux Symposium. The topic: “American Media at 250.”They will be exploring the influence the media has exerted over civic life in America over the past two and a half centuries, as the U.S. approaches its 250th birthday.Michael DiResto, director of the Reilly Center at LSU, tells us more about the upcoming event that highlights centuries of American political journalism.  Earlier this year, Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center in Baton Rouge became the first hospital in the region to offer a certain type of cancer immunotherapy — referred to as CAR-T-Cell Therapy — on an outpatient basis for certain blood cancers.Dr. Andrew Dalovisio, director of the Myeloma Lymphoma and Cellular Therapy Program at Mary Bird Perkins, tells us more about this life-saving treatment.—Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Adam Vos.

The Health Minister has agreed to meet with a group of blood cancer specialists who wrote an open letter expressing their alarm at Kiwi patients dying unecessarily because Aotearoa is lagging behind with treatments. The dozens of doctors, nurses and clinician reseachers say New Zealand blood cancer patients are being deprived of modern, targetted, funded, go to treatments, that are available globally; including the myeloma drug, Daratumumab. Professor Judith Trotman is the Chair of the Australasian Leukaemia Lymphoma Research Group and an expat Kiwi-Australian haematolgist in Sydney she spoke to Lisa Owen.

When Megan Gilmour's son was 10 years old, he spent nearly two years in isolation at the Sydney Children's Hospital. The months he missed at school didn't just affect him academically. Megan, her daughter and her husband all relocated from Canberra to be with Darcy in Sydney as he underwent life-saving medical treatment, and lived at hospital.Over his many months in hospital, Darcy missed a lot of school. What worried Megan wasn't just that he was falling behind academically, it was his loneliness and the way he was losing connection to his friends and his community.Over time Megan watched how Darcy's sense of belonging vanished because he wasn't physically at school.So along with two other mums she met through the Sydney Children's Hospital, Megan decided to do something about it.Not just for the kids who are missing out of school because they are in hospital, but for the growing number of kids who are away from school for a whole host of reasons.Megan is the CEO and co-founder of Missing School, and she was the 2025 ACT Australian of the Year.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris. Executive Producer is Nicola Harrison.It explores chronic illness, sick kids, school non attendance, school refusal, my kid doesn't want to go to school, young carers, neurodiverse children, autism, ADHD, AuDHD, learning difficulties, childhood cancer, blood disorders, lonely children, invisible siblings, parenting, motherhood, online learning, COVID, digital schooling, bone marrow transplant.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

A group of blood cancer specialists are expressing their alarm at the unnecessary loss of kiwi lives due to treatment in New Zealand lagging behind international standards. Dozens of doctors, nurses and clinician reseachers have written an open letter to the Prime Minister pleading for improvements in blood cancer care. They say New Zealanders are dying because they cant get drugs that are funded overseas and they're also being cut out of clinicial trials. Auckland haematologist Doctor Rory Bennett signed the letter spoke to Lisa Owen.

The plight of a New Zealand blood cancer patient forced to leave his four children behind and make a last chance dash to Australia for treatment has prompted dozens of doctors to write an open letter to the Prime Minister pleading for change. Tawhai Reti, who diagnosed with myeloma in 2019, exhausted all funded treatment options here and after being told he had weeks to live, was forced to most to Australia for funded treatment. His wife Lani Reti spoke to Lisa Owen.
