PATIENT SUPPORT IS CRITICAL TO BETTER OUTCOMES FOR BLOOD CANCER PATIENTS

Free, personalized support from The Leukemia & Lymphoma connects patients with resources, clinical trials, financial assistance and more

Approximately every 3 minutes one person in the U.S. is diagnosed with a blood cancer – with leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma as the most diagnosed types. And having blood cancer now is tougher than ever. When faced with the unexpected news of a cancer diagnosis, many become paralyzed by fear and distressed by the enormity of decisions that need to be made, especially now as the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted every aspect of cancer care and daily life as we know it.

In addition to the pandemic, the rapid emergence of breakthrough discoveries in cancer treatments has amplified the need for patient access to accurate, up-to-date information, education and support to help navigate these complex diseases, treatment options, including clinical trials and financial assistance.

Every day, Information Specialists at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) hear from blood cancer patients with concerns and questions about their diagnosis, seeking support and guidance about issues such as treatment options and costs, coping with the emotional and psychological impact of a blood cancer diagnosis, the impact of COVID-19 on care and treatment, how to safely connect with others who have experienced blood cancer and much more.

As the leading source of free information and support for blood cancer patients, families, caregivers and healthcare professionals, LLS’s Information Specialists are highly trained, oncology professionals, who spend hours providing critical one-on-one support throughout the blood cancer journey into survivorship.

And while patients can turn to LLS at any stage of their blood cancer journey, it’s critical for LLS to connect with newly-diagnosed patients and those in underserved communities to help ensure better outcomes for their diagnoses.

Nikki Yuill, LCSW, Director of the Information Resource Center at LLS, is available on Tuesday, January 12 from 7:30am - 12:30pm ET to talk about how LLS’s supports blood cancer patients when they need it the most, including the unique challenges they face due to their diagnosis and the COVID-19 pandemic

Many would agree that inspiration and perseverance are required to achieve anything of significance in life.

I accept my occasional share of lucky moments, but to ‘just keep working at it’ has been more my path of success.

Authoring a time-travel adventure series – scratching out the time necessary while I was still working full-time and more – demanded all the above, but one realizes that the process of dreaming and executing a plot is a journey with rich rewards. The characters, once established, begin to write their own story. And the trouble they get themselves into…

Historical and current events, even what the future may hold, is the background of my writing, radio, and television appearances.

There’s so much to choose from.

My love for history began early. Growing up in a family of nine children near Plymouth, Massachusetts and educated in Boston, the heritage of our country and the sacrifice of the Founding Fathers was an ever-present stirring and vivid study.

Interest in both science and the arts compelled me to receive a B.S. in Biology from Boston College and a DMD degree From Tufts University. Seeking professional and life experience, I joined the U.S. Navy, receiving my commission aboard the oldest active duty ship in the fleet, the USS Constitution.

Following active duty, I entered private practice and continued to serve in the Naval Reserve, stationed in Naval Hospitals and deployed with the United States Marine Corps. When I retired from the Navy with the rank of Captain, my retirement flag flew over the decks of the USS Constitution. Many great experiences and profound friendships grew out of those twenty-six years of service.

Throughout, while building my career and family, my interest in history and its lessons never waned, and it was not restricted to our shores. History has so much to teach us, and ancient history, especially of the Greek and Roman periods, has not only proved fascinating but has also provided fertile ground for my fiction.

I serve as a board member of the Friends of Classics at San Diego State University and a member of the Hellenic Society of San Diego. With education a key to bringing to life the lessons of the past, I am also a judge for San Diego County History Fair.

I live in one of the most beautiful cities on earth, sunny San Diego with my wife and two children. I play tennis and still love baseball. Early days on the pitcher's mound and throwing right and left-handed still has me dreaming of pitchi
