Effective self-advocacy and "being a powerful patient" are themes of this year's Patient Conference. In line with that theme,
Marrowforums has introduced new
Tools for Patients and Caregivers.
In addition to the
Treatment Center Map and
Absolute Neutrophil Calculator, we offer two new tools. MDS patients are welcome to try our
MDS Classification Tool and Medicare patients are invited to use our
Medicare Part D Calculator.
We encourage patients and caregivers to learn as much as they can and be full partners with the doctors on their medical teams. The conference sessions on Monday July 12 titled "Effective Self-Advocacy: Conversations on Being a Powerful Patient" and "How to Be Your Own Personal Healthcare Navigator" should be especially important to patients working to help themselves.
