This recorded session includes expert clinicians, a patient advocate, and a patient for “Establishing Goals of Therapy While Managing Myelodysplastic Syndromes,” an interactive discussion of MDS and potential treatment approaches.
This hour-long educational session helps patients and caregivers develop a clearer understanding of treatment options, side effects, quality-of-life changes, and financial impacts associated with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), as well as improving communication with the care team to set realistic expectations for treatment and access informative resources.
This program may help patients with MDS cope with feelings of anger, stress, and anxiety when diagnosed and throughout their disease course. It also provides guidelines for maintaining open communication among patients, caregivers, and the healthcare team, all essential for managing treatment.
