Join us on a heartfelt journey woven by support and education, as we speak to Teresa Altemeyer, who was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia in 2009. In this episode, Teresa shares her experience with CLL from diagnosis through long-term survivorship. On the advice of her doctor, she went out to live her life, and found herself supporting other blood cancer patients and survivors in doing the same. Despite her own physical and mental health struggles with this disease, she shares beautiful advice learned along the way.
