For World Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Dr. Hope sat down with Dodman Mirikau for a candid conversation about being diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) at 17, and what life has looked like since.
In this episode:
→ The symptoms nobody connected at first: headaches that wouldn't lift, night sweats and weight loss, and the road to a diagnosis
→ Saturday clinics with no one under 30 in the room, and the search for community
→ Life on daily oral medication: the side effects, and what he'd change about patient care
→ How to support someone living with leukemia or any chronic condition
→ Where he is today, and what slowing down looks like
Whether you're living with a chronic condition or love someone who is, this one's for you. Listen in.
