Here are two powerful video presentations of blood cancer survivors in a “now and then” format. They are the stories of “Sheriff Todd,” a multiple myeloma survivor, and “Laura,” a survivor of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. In the videos, we hear how both survivors dealt with their original diagnosis, the many ways in which it has affected their lives, and how they are managing today. Some of the comments and experiences will strongly resonate with long-term Hodgkin’s survivors, especially when they are talking about the emotional aspects of being a cancer survivor. Members of the survivors’ medical team, including a psychotherapist, also weigh in.
