Effective communication between patients and healthcare providers is crucial to facilitate shared decision-making and meaningful dialogue that supports improved patient outcomes in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) care. In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with Jean Louise Koff, MD, MSc, associate professor in the Department of Hematology and Medical Oncology at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia, about fostering trust, rapport, and collaboration in the patient-provider relationship. “I think empathy is a key part of establishing a relationship between a provider and a patient. [It] helps the patient feel safe when they're dealing with what can be a very stressful and frightening situation...A phrase that I like to use: ‘Our care team is going to take care of you. We are here for you during this diagnosis, and we're going to take care of you as you move through your care plan.'” — Jean Louise Koff, MD, MSc   Jean Louise Koff, MD, MSc Associate Professor Department of Hematology and Oncology Winship Cancer Institute Emory University School of Medicine Atlanta, GA   This video podcast was produced in partnership with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and made possible by support from Abbvie, Genmab, and Genentech.

In this episode we interview Heather Knutson, a registered dietitian from the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). Heather shares invaluable advice on nutrition management post-transplant, emphasizing the critical role of caregivers in the dietary adjustments necessary during this period.We start by addressing the challenges that both survivors and caregivers face when transitioning back home. Heather points out the importance of preparation before the survivor arrives home, suggesting that caregivers can ease the process by shopping in advance and preparing meals that can be easily accessed and consumed. She stresses the utility of having ready-to-eat and easy-to-prepare meals and snacks available to accommodate the fatigue that is common in survivors.A significant portion of the discussion revolves around the evolving dynamics between caregivers and survivors. Heather advises on strategies to mitigate stress and potential strain on relationships, suggesting practical tools like setting reminders for meals and medications, and using apps like the LLS Health Manager to coordinate care and dietary tracking.Heather also dives into the specific nutritional needs of survivors, highlighting the increased protein requirements post-transplant and the importance of balanced, nutritious meals to aid in survivorship. She provides tips for ensuring safety in food preparation and handling, particularly for survivors with compromised immune systems.The conversation further explores the emotional and logistical support that can be provided by friends and family, such as organizing meal trains or offering help with household chores, to lessen the burden on caregivers.As we wrap up, Heather touches on the broader FREE services provided by LLS, including one-on-one nutrition consultations and meal planning support, aimed at managing side effects and improving the quality of life for survivors and their families.This episode offers a comprehensive look at the intersection of caregiving, nutrition, and survivorship in the context of post-transplant recovery, providing actionable advice and emphasizing the power of thoughtful, well-coordinated care.Resources:LLS Phone Number: 877-467-1936 LLS Website: https://www.lls.org/LLS Nutrition Website: llsnutrition.orgLLS Health Manager App: https://www.lls.org/article/lls-health-manager-app-available-nowFairlife Product Website: https://fairlife.com/Survivor Gregory Proctor's book Faith, Strength, and Courage: https://www.amazon.com/FAITH-STRENGTH-COURAGE-Overcoming-Adversity/dp/760919834XFood Safety Podcast Episode with Sue Hill: https://marrowmasters.simplecast.com/episodes/sue-hillNational Bone Marrow Transplant Link - (800) LINK-BMT, or (800) 546-5268.nbmtLINK Website: https://www.nbmtlink.org/nbmtLINK Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/nbmtLINKnbmtLINK YouTube Page can be found by clicking here.Thank you to our sponsors.

Our guest on Episode 57 of the Rider Magazine Insider Podcast is Tim Card, the Visionary of the Year for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. In 2017, at the age of 40 and in the prime of his life, Card was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive form of non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Card is a family man with five children, and he was the owner of a CrossFit gym in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. When his cancer proved to be unresponsive to chemotherapy, Card underwent an experimental treatment, and a year after his diagnosis, he was in remission and remains cancer-free. Card worked hard to rebuild his strength and return to normal life, and about a year ago he learned to ride a motorcycle. On March 23, Card embarked on his first-ever cross-country motorcycle ride on a custom BMW R 18 to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Today we are  joined by Becky Dame, currently an Information Specialist at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, RN and Survivor. As Peggy says in the podcast, callers who end up talking to Becky must feel like they've hit the information jackpot.  Becky is a chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) survivor who went on to become a cancer care nurse, before she transitioned to her current role.  Today, we tap into her wealth of personal and professional experience.Becky was diagnosed as a college student in 1991, and received her first bone marrow transplant in 1992.  At this time, she felt called to be a nurse and changed from a music major to nursing school, marrying her husband on the day she graduated.  For 18 years, she went through cycles of relapse, always on the lookout for the newest treatments for her disease.  Then, in 2010, she received a matched unrelated donor (MUD) transplant, and was able to break that cycle.  Today, however, Becky battles Graft vs. Host Disease (GVHD).In 2017, she joined The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, where she says it's her goal to share her "pearls" of wisdom with patients, caregivers, and anyone else that she can find commonalities with. Becky speaks to the importance of finding a primary caregiver --transplant is not a journey you can go at alone.  Also, plan to be out of work for at least a year - and we cover some resources available to patients. There are also practical tips in today's podcast, such as why wearing a button-up shirt to the hospital can be a clutch move.Finally, Becky reflects on her journey, saying there's nothing she would change, feeling like everything happens for a reason, and now she's here to help others.The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society for One-on-One Supporthttps://www.lls.org/patient-support, 1-800-955-4572Other ResourcesNational Bone Marrow Transplant Link - (800) LINK-BMT, or (800) 546-5268.nbmtLINK Website: https://www.nbmtlink.org/nbmtLINK Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/nbmtLINKnbmtLINK YouTube Page can be found by clicking here.Thank you to this season's sponsors:The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, www.lls.orgSanofi: https://www.sanofi.com/

Welcome to the series finale of The Cancer Mavericks. In this final episode, we reflect on the first seven episodes through the lens of history and progress with a series of insightful conversations featuring some of healthcare's most influential and visionary voices across the past four decades. If history is a teacher, we have learned that change can happen, albeit slowly. But it is only when the people stand up, organize and activate their voices demanding change, that the culture will shift, the institutions will pivot, and the very system itself will be forced by the will of the citizens to bend towards the arc of justice.

Matt Kruse with The leukemia and lymphoma Society talks with us today about their big event in Jacksonville, and why leukemia and lymphoma should be on your radar.

Annette Weidenfeld, Campaign Development Director, and WMMR's own Nick McIlwain, volunteer and ‘Philadelphia Man of the Year' candidate, discussed the programs and successes of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.    Annette described what constitutes a blood cancer and we discussed who gets the diagnosis; she notes that children make up about 40% of cases, but that genetic and environmental factors mean that anyone or any age can develop one.     We discussed the LLS mission, to cure Leukemia, Lymphoma, Hodgkin's Disease and Myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.  Annette spoke of their success, LLS is at the forefront of the fight to cure cancer and they have invested nearly $1.3 billion in research. She also told us that their breakthroughs in immunotherapy, genomics and personalized medicine and these new treatments discovered through blood cancer research are now being tested in clinical trials for other cancers.  Not only are deaths decreasing, Annette tells us that the first treatment in over 30 years for the especially deadly AML is now available.  She also discussed their initiatives in childhood care, looking to decrease the long-term side-effects of treatment.  We spoke about patient outcomes and their advocacy for access to treatment and affordable healthcare.  Learn more about their work and how you can support them at LLS.ORG. We talked about their patient services, LLS is there from diagnosis through treatment and more, with peer support, referrals, and even financial help.  Nick, part of the Preston & Steve Morning Show on BMG's WMMR, spoke about his work for LLS.  His young nephew and his father were both diagnosed with blood cancers within the same year.  He had participated in LLS events through the station, but now he knew first-hand how important LLS is to the families fighting these diseases and he stepped up to becoming one of their leading advocates.  He was especially touched that they cared about his entire family, not just the patients, and offered advice and support through every step of their way through treatment.   Nick has lead the Beasley stations' fundraising, through ‘Team Luke' at the annual Big Climb, to Light the Night and the annual walk.  He is now campaigning for ‘Philadelphia Man of Year,' every dollar he raises is a vote for him and needed money for that research and patient support.  To learn more about his campaign and his competitors for ‘Man', ‘Woman' and ‘Student of the Year' as well as information about fundraising throughout the year, go to LLS.ORG and check ‘How To Help'

A cancer diagnosis sucks no matter what — but factors like income, education, racism, geography, housing, and access to health care, known as "social determinants of health," can worsen the burden. When researchers zoom out from individual experiences and survey cancer survivors, they see patterns called social determinants of health. Individual circumstances such as economic stability, physical environment, racial bias, proximity to a provider, or fluency in that provider's language can influence a survivor's health outcome before any cancer treatment begins. In this episode, we share stories of cancer mavericks who rebelled against the foreshadowing of health disparities. 23-year survivor Mary P. Lovato started a support group at her pueblo in New Mexico that expanded to reach American Indian and Alaska Native tribes across the United States. After learning she had breast cancer at 31, Maimah Karmo made it her mission to advocate for young women, Black women, and those with metastatic disease — and to end health disparities in our lifetime. Finally, health disparities researcher Dr. Carmen Guerra shares how the University of Pennsylvania's Abramson Cancer Center nearly doubled the number of Black patients in its clinical trials.

This episode discusses the moment of hearing about a loved one's CLL diagnosis, the daunting task of navigating insurance and the healthcare system, and the necessity of finding and building your support network. Our host, Elura Nanos, talks with Lisa Ferguson, a communications director and mother of two from Huntsville, Alabama, and Erin O'Brien, a project manager from Cincinnati, Ohio. Lisa's husband and Erin's mom have CLL. In sharing their stories, they discuss their struggles and challenges and the importance of building your support network. Lisa and Erin begin our conversation as strangers, but they become each other's “people by the end.” Caregiver Lifehacks is a production of OffScrip Health.

In a frank and candid conversation, two devoted husbands share the challenges and rewards of caring for their wives in different stages of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or CLL. Relationships are tough on their best days, but it can add a whole new range of challenges when the person you love is battling cancer. Meet Scott Fuller and Ted Walsh, who talk candidly about their failures and successes as caregivers to their wives who have CLL. Ted Walsh lives in the Raleigh, Durham area of North Carolina and works in the biomedical industry. Ted found out that his wife Laura had CLL just three months before their wedding date. Laura is currently in what's known in the CLL world as the "watch and wait" phase -- often known to folks on the inside as "watch and worry." Our other guest is Scott Fuller from Trophy Club, Texas, where he's the director of golf course maintenance at a country club. Scott has been married for 32 years to his wife Christina, who was diagnosed with CLL in 2018. Christina has recently begun treatment and is participating in a clinical trial at UT Southwestern. Both Scott and Ted are two extraordinary men who are partners in their wives' CLL journey. Caregiver Lifehacks is a production of OffScrip Health.

In our final episode, we continue to expand upon what caregiving looks like through the eyes of two women who have very different, non-traditional experiences for their parents. We examine the emotional side, the mental load, and the educational advocacy needed to sort through the deluge of information that comes with a cancer diagnosis. We are so quick to turn to Google for all of our answers to our medical questions. When Mari Hoffman's dad was diagnosed with CLL, she found comfort in getting educated. She bonded with her dad through research, and they spent a lot of time together googling the latest CLL information. Mari went on to study genetics and genomics in college at UC Davis, where she is a recent graduate. Our other guest Michelle Stonis, a mom of three and a university professor from California, found the “google rabbit hole” very stressful. She made a conscious choice to stay away from googling until a few days before her mom's battle with CLL came to an end. Join us for this inspiring conversation from two women in different phases of their lives as they share their very different approaches to caregiving.

For decades, the portrayal of cancer in movies and television was grim. If a character was diagnosed with cancer, it was a near certainty they'd be dead by the credits. But, like cancer treatment itself, Hollywood evolved, and many storylines about cancer became stories of survival.In this episode, we ask the question, "Who influences us and why?" From musicians to television stars, film producers to televised cancer screenings, when celebrities lend their voices to raising awareness and fundraising, that kind of star power can move mountains. Join us as we hear from voices such as actor Patrick Dempsey, StandUp2Cancer Co-Founders Katie Couric, Pam Williams, the late Laura Ziskin. Also appearing in this episode: Steven Hoffman (Professor of Global Health Law and Political Science at York University in Toronto, Canada,) Dr. Larissa Nekhlyudov (Director of Internal Medicine for Cancer Survivors at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute,) Kami Kosenko (Professor of Communication at North Carolina State University,) and Milton Kent (Former reporter and sports columnist for The Baltimore Sun).For more information about this series, visit https://CancerMavericks.com.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

More than 53 million Americans act as family caregivers who often fall below the radar sacrificing everything in the name of compassion, empathy, and love. Caregiver Lifehacks amplifies the voices of those impacted by the diagnosis of a loved one. Hungry to connect and share information, these authentically candid interviews give us a peek into the vulnerable spaces of what it means to provide care for a loved one. Host Elura Nanos uses her no-BS conversational style to provide a home for the often unspoken thoughts and feelings of the caregiver experience. As a fiercely intelligent and radically compassionate lawyer and media professional, she knows the caregiver path all too well. Caregiver Lifehacks is a production of OffScrip Health.

Facing a diagnosis of cancer at any age is horrible. But for young adults, it's just plain different. Not better. Not worse. Different. Those diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 39 are on a planet all their own, often left to fend for themselves as lost voices sandwiched between pediatrics and adult cancer. The consequences of living with, through, and, ideally, beyond cancer carries with it a whole host of unique long-term issues, issues that had fallen under the radar and gone ignored by the system for far too long.In this episode, we talk to a new generation of cancer mavericks like Tamika Felder, Heidi Adams, Doug Ulman, and Lindsay Nohr-Beck, who revived a dying national conversation on cancer survivorship in the earliest days of the Internet. They created edgy websites, forced doctors to listen by creating fertility preservation guidelines, and fought to bring the invisible and underserved voice of the young adult cancer community into the national public spotlight.For more information about this series, visit https://CancerMavericks.com.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In just over 20 years, the number of cancer survivors in the United States has doubled to 17 million survivors, each confronting their new (ab)normal lives. From chemo brain to PTSD, medical debt to workplace discrimination, this episode follows survivors along with their unique—and often difficult—paths post-treatment. In this episode, we hear from some of the godmothers of the cancer survivorship movement like Dr. Patricia Ganz and Barbara Hoffman and “everyday mavericks” who are forging ahead into life after cancer.

Advocacy can take many forms in the cancer community — from advocating for yourself or a loved one to receive the best possible treatment to calling your Congressperson or testifying on Capitol Hill to demand increased access to care. This episode explores different ways cancer mavericks have elevated survivors' needs and improved their lives, including the pioneering patient navigation model created by Dr. Harold Freeman at Harlem Hospital, the story of Ellen Stovall's fearless and collaborative approach to policy, shaped around a shared agenda to represent the needs of all cancer survivors, and the landmark 1998 March on Washington called Coming Together To Conquer Cancer.

The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Light The Night is back in person this year!  Anne Bradley of LLS joins us today to talk about the many ways to get involved.  The event will be September 30th in Hart Plaza (with a virtual component for those who are more comfortable).  Anne walks us through the return of this amazing event.All of us know someone touched by cancer.  Thanks to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's work, blood cancer survival rates have gone from 3% in the 1960's to between 80 and 90 percent today. Also, LLS has been involved in funding 40% of drugs in these areas.  Obviously, to continue this work, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society needs to raise money.Anne tells us about all the different ways to raise money for Light The Night, including challenges for executives and young professionals.  She also mentions some great perks for the winners of these competitions - you'll want to hear this.We also spend some time discussing resources provided by LLS - Andrea has participated in webinars for patients and supporters.  We preview more to come.Finally, we get to know Anne, a true Renaissance woman.  In addition to her fundraising work, she's a vocalist for a punk rock band, a gardener, and a fitness instructor.More info:Light The Night Detroit: https://www.lightthenight.org/events/detroitLeukemia and Lymphoma Society: https://lls.org/Anne's Band, The Lowcocks, on BandCamp: https://thelowcocks.bandcamp.com/Anne's Fat Fit Punk: Fat Positive, Health Focused, Exercise for Misfits https://fatfitpunk.com/Jon Gay from JAG in Detroit Podcasts - http://www.jagindetroit.com/Trish Carruth from The Personal Jeweler - https://www.thepersonaljeweler.com/Lisa Bibbee from Keller Williams - http://soldbylisab.com/Andrea Arndt of Dickinson Wright - https://www.dickinson-wright.com/And if you'd like to know more about the Royal Oak Chamber of Commerce, or join, find them here:  https://www.royaloakchamber.com/ 

Skip is talking with Lauren Olsen and Chris Bruce. Lauren is the Area Director for the Oregon, SW Washington, Idaho, and Montana Chapter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Chris is a Loan Officer at Premier Mortgage and in 2013 was diagnosed with Leukemia. Chris is telling us the story of his battle with Leukemia.

By the 1980s, cancer was no longer a death sentence. But the question of what surviving actually meant was unanswered. Cancer survivors had to navigate issues around employment, relationships, and the emotional and physical side effects of treatment in a world that largely didn't know what to do with them. (and they were still called “victims.”) In 1985, a young doctor named Fitzhugh Mullan wrote an essay called “Seasons of Survival” about his own experience with cancer. His piece helped popularize the term “cancer survivor” and resonated with a growing number of survivors, who were starting to form support groups around the country. Among them was Catherine Logan Carrillo, the founder of People Living Through Cancer in New Mexico, who asked Fitzhugh to help her convene an “alumni association” for cancer survivors. And they did, during one monumental weekend in Albuquerque.

Mary Lasker used to say that more money was spent on advertising campaigns for gum than was spent on cancer research. She'd seen the effects of that almost non-existent budget first hand: she watched people close to her die from cancer, including her advertising exec husband. She was outraged by the lack of money and research devoted to ending the disease. But with her own funds and influence, Mary Lasker rallied the public and lawmakers to take notice, ultimately leading to The National Cancer Act of 1971. This "War on Cancer" brought millions of dollars, but also harsh truths: there was no simple cure for cancer, and the remedies of modern science to control the disease took a devastating toll on patients. Rose Kushner was one of those patients. She questioned the treatments and surgeries that had become the status quo for medical experts. Her pushback helped start a massive change in the patient-doctor relationship as well as in cancer treatment. In Episode 1, we learn how Mary Lasker and Rose Kushner became two of the most important health policy advocates of the 20th century, putting cancer—and cancer patients—front and center.

Most people don't know that you're considered a cancer survivor at the moment of diagnosis. It wasn't always this way. Sixty years ago, a cancer diagnosis was a death sentence. And if you did survive, you were left to figure out the rest of your life on your own.But some survivors demanded something different, something better.From OffScrip Media, this is The Cancer Mavericks, a deep-dive narrative into the people who fought for better treatment, forced doctors to listen, and pushed America to see the human side of the disease. Episodes of this series will publish monthly through the end of December 2021 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the signing of the National Cancer Act of 1971.

This episode of the Diversity at Work podcast is a bit different - I invited Trudy Dyer, Executive Director of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society on the podcast – but we’re not talking about her, we’re actually talking about me, and how she saw this potential in me that I did not see in myself. She offered me an opportunity, and immediately my reaction was to say no, and thoughts of imposter syndrome filed my head. I wanted to bring her on the podcast to really share how she stepped up to the plate, how she was able to get my thoughts in check, and allow me to see this opportunity for what it really was – a way for me to get out of my comfort zone and get into that zone where the magic happens.
