For patients with chronic blood cancers, such as Waldenström Macroglobulinemia (WM), quality of life is a main priority. Physical and emotional side effects of the disease or treatment may present several challenges for patients and caregivers.  

In this episode, we were onsite at the International Waldenström‘s Macroglobulinemia Foundation’s 2024 IWMF Educational Forum in Renton, WA.  Elissa met with experts who discussed how integrative oncology, wellness, mental health, and peripheral neuropathy affects WM patients and their caregivers.

While this episode focuses on WM, the topics discussed are relevant to all types of cancer. We encourage you to listen and learn!
