In this episode of MPN Pod, Kay and Josh sit down with Rachel Suarez, a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in oncology, to discuss the often overlooked emotional and psychological challenges of living with an MPN. Rachel explains what kind of support social workers can offer MPN patients, having worked with many PV and ET patients herself.
She also addresses how patients can advocate for themselves in medical appointments, talk about their diagnosis with family and friends, and take advantage of patient support organizations even when a social worker isn't available at their local treatment center. This episode is a reminder: MPN isn't a sprint, it's a marathon, and no one has to run it alone.
