Watch on Demand: Managing and Treating Leukemia and Other Blood Cancers

“Fatigue can be very difficult to fix — but having said that, one of the things we do when we're assessing folks with blood cancer is try to see if there are, in fact, reversible causes of fatigue.”

Dr. Matt Kalaycio shared this important insight during MyLymphomaTeam’s latest Q&A session, when members of the lymphoma community had a chance to learn more about managing and treating blood cancers.

Dr. Kalaycio joined MyLymphomaTeam’s Heather Lapidus Glassner to answer questions on how to manage fatigue, whether cardiac conditions can occur alongside blood cancers, and how someone would know whether they’re a candidate for a stem cell transplant.

Check out the video for a few more topics Dr. Kalaycio discussed during the Q&A session:

  • Whether people with blood cancer should get vaccinated against COVID-19
  • How to handle mental health symptoms when living with blood cancer
  • Tips for talking to your oncologist via telehealth
