This month’s special call-in program honoring Blood Cancer Awareness Month, will feature Dr. Stephanie Lee, Professor and Section Head of Hematologic Malignancies, Fred Hutch and the University of Washington, who will share her honest, straightforward ideas and expertise regarding clinical trials. Dr. Lee will break it all down for us, offering practical knowledge and advice that will dispel some of the myths and help listeners understand why clinical trials are not to be feared or discounted. Two-time survivor Loriana Hernandez, global patient advocate and journalist will share her real life trial experiences so that others can learn where to find them and better navigate the many options. Jennifer Gillette, our licensed staff social worker, will host this call. There will be plenty of time for live questions.
