Kathy Giusti, founder of the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) and a two-time cancer survivor, opens up about her first diagnosis and the life-changing conversation with her primary care doctor. She reflects on the overwhelming "age of information," which often leads patients to more questions than answers, and shares her strategies for dealing with the loss of control that comes with a cancer diagnosis. Kathy also talks about the importance of identifying what truly matters, placing personal priorities in plain sight as daily reminders. She delves into the potential next breakthrough in multiple myeloma research, her success in engaging patients in MMRF’s direction, and offers heartfelt advice for families on when and how to tell children about a cancer diagnosis, as well as other important points through the cancer journey, drawing from her own deeply personal experiences.Read more about the Kathy Giusti story.https://www.statnews.com/2024/09/03/multiple-myeloma-kathy-guisti-fatal-to-fearless-patient-advocate-research-fundraiser/Find out more about Kathy’s book “Fatal to Fearless.”https://www.kathygiusti.com/bookCheck out Chadi’s website for all Healthcare Unfiltered episodes and other content. www.chadinabhan.com/Watch all Healthcare Unfiltered episodes on YouTube. www.youtube.com/channel/UCjiJPTpIJdIiukcq0UaMFsA
