Marrow Masters

Season 4 Trailer

In this season's first episode, we are joined by clinical and health psychologist Michelle Bishop, who specializes in working with cancer patients, survivors, and family caregivers. Michelle spent the first half of her career as a research assistant professor at the University of Florida studying the long-term quality of life of BMT survivors and caregivers, and has been in private practice for the last 11 years.Michelle likens the BMT journey to a long road trip with many roads and pitstops. There are often unexpected detours as well. On this long BMT road trip, we can’t actually see the final destination and we don’t really know exactly how long it’s going to take so we will need to plan differently and be mindful along the way.  For example there is the period of transplant and early recovery at the transplant center, the transition home and ongoing recovery. Keep in mind, with a bone marrow/stem cell transplant, there may be additional roads dealing with graft versus host disease. And it's important to remember that caregivers are on this journey along with their patients. Michelle encourages caregivers to ask for help and make a list of the things you need help with. And be sure to have friends and family who can support YOU as the caregiver on this road trip. Self care is absolutely essential to keeping your engine running. For this road trip, you'll want to make sure your tires are full and fluids are topped off before you start.For more from the National Bone Marrow Transplant Link, visit us online at nbmtlink.org or call us at 800-546-5268.This season of Marrow Masters is sponsored by the nbmtLINK, Incyte Corporation and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.nbmtLINK website: https://www.nbmtlink.org/The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society: https://www.lls.org/ 

Psychologist Michelle Bishop Specializes in Caregiving and Shares Her Expertise

When Sharon Minton's husband Rob broke out in a strange rash, his primary doctor thought it might be an allergic reaction to laundry detergent. What it turned out to be was an extraordinarily rare cancer called Sezary Syndrome, an aggressive form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.  In 2013, he was told he had a 25% chance of surviving the next five years. Sharon shares the importance of being YOUR loved one's advocate, even if you have to speak up and be bold at times. After researching with doctors and the Sezary Syndrome community, they decided Rob's best hope would be allogeneic stem cell transplant.  They got on the registry and found an 8 out of 10 match.Sharon walks us through the inspiring story of Rob's transplant, hospital stay, and move to an apartment nearby following the transplant.  She credits exercise (even walking around the unit), friends and family, and her faith for helping them both survive this ordeal.There were setbacks along the way, including cytomegalovirus (CMV), sepsis, and even fungal pneumonia.  But today, Rob and Sharon are both doing well, with Rob running, fishing, and playing pickleball.  For more from the National Bone Marrow Transplant Link, visit us online at nbmtlink.org or call us at 800-546-5268.This season of Marrow Masters is sponsored by the nbmtLINK, Incyte Corporation and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.nbmtLINK website: https://www.nbmtlink.org/The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society: https://www.lls.org/

Sharon Minton: Wife Caregiver to Rob and Advocate for a Rare Cancer

It's 2011. Imagine being halfway across the world in Africa, doing missionary work, and your daughter gets sick. You are far from modern medicine, and you're told your six-year-old has either mono or leukemia. Then, it turns out she has BOTH.Next thing Matt DeYoung knew, he, his wife, and all four kids were back in Grand Rapids, Michigan, as Lola battled Pre B Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.While difficult, the initial treatments went well for Lola. Then, in 2013, she was back in treatment after a CNS relapse. In 2015, after yet another relapse, the DeYoungs began to look at the idea of a bone marrow transplant. Without a suitable donor, it took a mismatched cord blood sample to save her life.In today's episode, Matt speaks about his role as the primary caregiver for Lola.  He moved into her hospital room when his job allowed him to work remotely. He was there for the better part of four years, taking detailed notes and making sure he knew every detail of Lola's treatment. Matt found comfort in writing. And he wasn't alone. He also needed to lean on his wife and other children to contribute and sacrifice. And Matt shares the toll this tool on the whole family and the  importance of therapy for all. Matt says you need to stay positive in the caregiver role, even if that means only focusing on 15 minutes or 24 hours at a time.  He also talks about the power of his strong faith, and getting peace from the belief that God was powerful enough to bring complete healing if that was His desire. Whenever you get into a situation where you can't control your outcome, you can either choose faith or despair.Today, Lola is a healthy, happy teenager who has a very special bond with her dad. Her Facebook page, seen here, tells more of their family's incredible journey.

Matt DeYoung: Caregiver Dad to Daughter Lola

Barb Hara found herself in the role of caregiver just last year when her sister Jackie was diagnosed with PH positive B cell ALL. Following a transplant, she just celebrated her first "birthday" in September of this year.As a caregiver to her older sister, Barb took the reigns and started taking notes - lots of them.  She tracked every doctor, every treatment, every day. This allowed her to stay on top of all developments and closely monitor Jackie's situation. Organization was key, as this allowed her to send several group text messages to different friends and family.Barb also talks of the importance of flexibility - situations often change, sometimes without warning. Her husband stepped up with "grandkid" duty when Barb had to stay with Jackie during her recovery.  And her other siblings did what they could, filling in as needed and her younger sister was her rock when Barb needed to vent.Barb found a great (constructive) way to bring family and friends together to help when she created a team for Henry Ford’s Game on Cancer and they all participated in the 2019 Detroit Marathon (5K). Jackie had just been released from the hospital from her stem cell transplant, so a friend stayed with her while the family went to the run. For more information, visit http://hfordh.convio.net/site/TR/Events/GameOnCancer?fr_id=1120&pg=entryJackie is doing well today, one year post transplant, and is looking forward to more birthdays, thanks in large part to her younger sister.For more from the National Bone Marrow Transplant Link, visit us online at nbmtlink.org or call us at 800-546-5268.This season of Marrow Masters is sponsored by the nbmtLINK, Incyte Corporation and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.nbmtLINK website: https://www.nbmtlink.org/The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society: https://www.lls.org/

Barb Hara Shares Her Journey as a Caregiver to Her Sister Jackie

Dr. Sung Choi is a pediatric bone marrow transplant physician at Michigan Medicine (University of Michigan).Dr. Choi joins us today to discuss the unique challenges for both pediatric patients as well as their caregivers. Of course, the approach differs with different ages. You wouldn't treat a 16 year-old the same way you would a toddler.  But there are some constants.For example, it's important to have quality time with the patient not spent discussing treatment.  And often times, kids will take cues from their parents, which is why self care is also important. There's a reason why flight attendants tell you to secure your own mask before your child's.We discuss the positives and negatives of social media and how that affects younger patients. We also cover the various stages along the transplant journey rollercoaster.Finally, Dr. Choi shares some inspiring stories a physician following up with former patients.For more from the National Bone Marrow Transplant Link, visit us online at nbmtlink.org or call us at 800-546-5268.This season of Marrow Masters is sponsored by the nbmtLINK, Incyte Corporation and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.nbmtLINK website: https://www.nbmtlink.org/The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society: https://www.lls.org/

Pediatric Physician Dr. Sung Choi Shares Challenges And Solutions for Caregivers

Today, we are joined by Kate Whitson, who talks about her husband Randy's ALL diagnosis.  Randy was 43, and their son was about to turn 5 and go into kindergarten.Kate discusses the unique challenges of being Randy's caregiver and trying to convey the situation to Max in an age appropriate way. In some ways, they were lucky that Max was too young to fully understand the situation, but they faced the daunting task of Max starting school under unique circumstances.Kate relied on many family members to help her take care of both Randy and Max throughout this ordeal. They found it helped to normalize things for Max by having Friday Family Movie Night at the hospital, complete with pizza. And you'll love the story of one friend who waited in the lobby for hours just in case Kate needed a listening ear that day-- and she did! Kate shares the importance of putting your oxygen mask on first, just like they say on a flight. Also, as hard as it may seem, accept help from loved ones and to talk to others who have been in your shoes. For more from the National Bone Marrow Transplant Link, visit us online at nbmtlink.org or call us at 800-546-5268.This season of Marrow Masters is sponsored by the nbmtLINK, Incyte Corporation and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.nbmtLINK website: https://www.nbmtlink.org/The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society: https://www.lls.org/

Kate Whitson Shares Her Journey as a Caregiving Wife

In 1996, Jim Bulger's wife Nancy was diagnosed with diffuse large B-Cell lymphoma. She went into remission after six months of chemo. But over two decades later, in 2017, Nancy received another diagnosis: follicular lymphoma.One of Jim's roles as a caregiver was to run "interference" - to field calls and other correspondence from friends and family, so Nancy didn't have to keep re-telling the same stories over and over. Jim was also Nancy's advocate with her medical team, tracking every appointment, prescription, treatment, and more. Jim will talk about letting others help and show their love and kindness--something caregivers sometimes struggle with. Another key was finding a balance between restriction and freedom as Nancy navigated this journey and slowly built her strength back up. Jim also promised himself that there would be laughter. No matter what, he'd make his Nancy laugh every day. Wait until you hear the story of the meditation CD! Jim shares what their new normal was like--no predicability, no days off, the significance of the "pause button" and the importance of doing what you need to do now so that you can do what you want to do later. Two other nuggets--celebrate the milestones--no matter how small--and find your "North Star.

Jim Bulger: Husband Caregiver to His Nancy

When Jean Heika's daughter Shannon was in college in 2013, she got sick. After extensive testing, they learned she had an aggressive, rare leukemia - blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN).Jean learned a lot over about being a caregiver over the course of Shannon's journey, including how to interact with doctors. As the primary caregiver, you need to be the patient's chief advocate, even if that means pushing back when necessary.  Find a doctor that's not afraid to consult with colleagues, one that will go to bat for you as Dr. Ken Holland at Northside in Atlanta did for us.Jean packed up and moved back across the country to care for her daughter through transplant, and the awful GVHD that followed. There were times when Shannon really suffered, and the doctors' prognosis wasn't good. There were points when even they didn't think Shannon would make it.But Shannon fought, and so did Jean.  She fought every step of the way to make sure they had the best information and best care.  She reminds our listeners to accept help when offered, and gives us a fantastic tip about doors in doctors' offices.For more from the National Bone Marrow Transplant Link, visit us online at nbmtlink.org or call us at 800-546-5268.This season of Marrow Masters is sponsored by the nbmtLINK, Incyte Corporation and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.nbmtLINK website: https://www.nbmtlink.org/The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society: https://www.lls.org/

Jean Heika: Caregiving Mom to her Young Adult Daughter Shannon

Today we have Cathleen S. Graham RN, CHPN, the regional manager for one of the nation's largest hospice organizations and the CEO of CannabisNurse.com. Cathleen is also a partner with Leaf Medic, Michigan's first online vocational school to offer cannabis industry training. Cathleen suggests you look for unbiased scientific locations to learn more. Her suggestions include:Cannabis Nurse.com: https://cannabisnurse.com/American Cannabis Nurses Association: https://cannabisnurses.org/Cannabis Nurses Network: https://www.cannabisnursesnetwork.com/The Society of Cannabis Clinicians: https://www.cannabisclinicians.org/Dr. Sulak at https://healer.com/The debilitating medical conditions that qualify an individual for the medical use of marijuana include one or more of the following: CancerGlaucomaHIV PositiveAIDSHepatitis CAmyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)Crohn’s DiseaseAgitation of Alzheimer’s DiseaseNail PatellaPost - Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)ArthritisRheumatoid ArthritisSpinal Cord InjuryColitisInflammatory Bowel DiseaseUlcerative ColitisParkinson’s DiseaseTourette’s DiseaseAutismChronic PainCerebral PalsyA chronic or debilitating disease or medical condition or its treatment that produces 1 or more of the following:Cachexia or Wasting SyndromeSevere and Chronic PainSevere NauseaSeizures (Including but not limited to those characteristic of epilepsy)Severe and Persistent Muscle Spasms (Including but not limited to those characteristic of multiple sclerosis)For every pro there is a possible con. For example, cannabis is said to help manage anxiety or symptoms of PTSD. However, if one takes too much cannabis it can cause anxiety and panic. Also, if one with PTSD obtains a cannabis chemovar that is high in pinene it can cause the symptoms of PTSD to become worse. Cannabis is also known to increase heart rate up to 50%.A recent study published in Forensic Science International this month declared “After exclusion of other causes of death we assume that the young men experienced fatal cardiovascular complications evoked by smoking cannabis.”These reports indicate that the need for education is paramount for the safety of the consumer. CBD is a great vasorelaxant and can decrease blood pressure as well as stabilize blood sugar levels. CBD does not activate CB1 receptors in the brain, and is devoid of the psychotropic actions of THC (meaning it will not get you high). Indeed, CBD may antagonize the psychoses associated with THC (meaning CBD decreases the effects of THC). The difference between cannabis oil and hemp CBD oil is the amount of THC that is allowed. Hemp CBD oil is allowed to have 0.3% THC along with all the other cannabinoids found in that particular plant. Cannabis oil has a lot more THC and very little CBD. A research study suggests that 96% of cannabis has no CBD in it at all. CBD is found mostly in the Hemp plant. CBD isolate is just that- only the CBD. This isolate does not have any other cannabinoids. CBD is the cannabinoid that has the most medicinal benefit- CBD alone is great at decreasing pain, inflammation, nausea, insomnia, and muscle spasms as well as many other symptoms too.  Also, CBD does not show on a drug screen test as they usually only test for THC. When you use full spectrum cannabis or hemp products you are getting the most medicinal benefit as they all work well to balance each other and create an entourage effect. It is important to remember that if you use a full spectrum hemp oil that you can fail a drug test as these products do have 0.3% THC. There are both pros and cons to the different methods of administration. Smoking the byproducts can cause serious diseases in a person. Vaping or dabbing can reduce those harmful byproducts by not combusting the product. Inhaling is the fastest way to get cannabis into your body-- it is also the shortest lasting-- meaning you have to use this method a lot more often to feel the medicinal benefits. Note: We caution you that vaping has been determined to be dangerous. Edibles or Medibles take a lot longer to feel the effects although the effects may last up to 8 hours using this method. When you eat cannabis it is important to remember that the Delta 9 THC converts to 11 Hydroxy THC which is 3-4 times more potent and psycho active than Delta 9 THC. 11 Hydroxy THC passes through the blood brain barrier easier and that is good news for Parkinson’s patients. Sublingual is the easiest to micodose and is often used by the pediatric patients the most. Topical products are not psycho active and work at the site where it is applied.Medical marijuana may affect the effectiveness of medications taken to control GVHD (tacrolimus, cyclosporine, steroids) as well as anti-depressants and potentially antibiotics and antifungals: What we do know from our knowledge is that it does have some effect on post-transplant medications so there is some effect on mycophenolate, tacrolimus, cyclosporine or steroids so many of the medications a patient might receive post-transplant, these agents may inhibit them and cause increased levels of the drug which may result in toxicity. Also, it can inhibit our antidepressants which would again increase our level of toxicity with those drugs. We can see some potential drug-drug interactions with our antibiotics, as well as our antifungals which many transplant patients will receive. We do worry about these because things like Voriconazole, Posaconazole, any of our azoles. Many of our mycins, erythromycin, clarithromycin, antibiotics may be affected by these.There are concerns about infection in transplant patients who use marijuana: From an infection standpoint, we do have concerns. Especially with smoking marijuana in our patient population. We have concerns with fungal infections. There are some case reports looking at patients who are smoking marijuana or who have smoked marijuana or who are immunosuppressed post-transplant who have developed severe fungal infections and have died from those fungal infections. That could be a result of mold spores that may be contained in the buds that are smoked, as well it could be a result of increase in inflammation and causing infection risk in the lungs. Again, when we have patients who are immunosuppressed, who have too few white blood cells, we really do advise them NOT to use smoked products. We really advise them to use edibles or tinctures of some other nature.Microbe contamination of marijuana products is a concern: There's no standard manufacturing, so we worry about microbe contamination just like we would worry about smoking those natural products with mold spores.Micro contamination, we worry about pesticide contamination from how the crops were raised. With that, in our immunosuppressed patient population this is a real concern because patients can be more susceptible to these types of toxicities. Then there is just an unmonitored chain supply. Again, with FDA approved drugs as they go through quality control - we do monitor where the drugs are and what temperatures they are and when they have been where. In this situation, there really is an unmonitored chain supply so we do not know where there might be potential places for contamination to occur as the product is being prepared for patient use.Small studies suggest that marijuana may help in control of Graft Versus Host DiseasePlease remember: this is an overall, general education. Again, we want to stress that with laws differing so much state to state regarding the use of cannabis or CBD, it is very important you learn the laws for YOUR state. We also are working with what is legal at the time of this recording, in June 2020. Please consult your doctor should you have personal questions or concerns, applicable to your care plan.For more from the National Bone Marrow Transplant Link, visit us online at nbmtlink.org or call us at 800-546-5268.This season of Marrow Masters is sponsored by the nbmtLINK, Jazz Pharmaceuticals and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.nbmtLINK website: https://www.nbmtlink.org/The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society: https://www.lls.org/
