In this Blood and Platelets Podcast Episode, Alex, Brandon and Krissy sit and speak with Susan, Athena, and Chris from A3M.  A3M’s vision is to grow and diversify the Be The Match Registry through  focusing on marrow donor recruitment within various ethnic communities,  therefore increasing the likelihood of patients finding a marrow match.  

A3M holds a soft spot in Alex, Brandon, and Krissy's hearts.  They wanted to share the amazing work A3M does and to help motivate individuals to register as a donor.

In this episode Alex, Brandon and Krissy talk about caregivers. How do people give care to patients? How can people provide care? How can they provide help? How can they be active for the patient?  Being a caregiver can be overwhelming and scary. We hopefully ease some of these fears in this episode

In this episode, Alex, Brandon and Krissy take it back to the basics and help define and explain some of the medical jargon doctors and nurses throw at you when going through cancer treatment and transplants.

In this episode, we talk about how to stay  mentally strong during and after treatment. The three of us definitely have our own strategies, but at the end of the day we all agreed being  mentally strong is by far the greatest medicine for survivorship.
