WHATNEXT’s partner site, Patient Worthy, publishes a monthly podcast that features patients, advocates, doctors and other champions of the rare disease community. We always keep our ears open for any cancer-related episodes and republish them here. If you haven’t given the Patient Worthy podcast a listen yet, please follow the link above or subscribe on your favorite podcast app. They have years of fascinating and inspiring chats with rare disease patients for all your binging needs.
In their newest episode, host Colby Rogers sits down with Keisha Hickson, a professional speaker and community advocate, who was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2016. That’s a rare form of cancer that develops in a type of white blood cell called a plasma cell. They discuss navigating a rare cancer diagnosis, adjusting to a new normal and the importance of resiliency.
