Working From Home with Myeloma
This podcast series is a personal diary of my experience of working from home while being diagnosed with, and then treated for Myeloma. My name is Morgan Bardon, and this podcast goes though my journey from a patients perspective and hopefully will help you and your family understand the treatment cycles, emotional issues, and possible side-effects that the treatment can bring.
While everyone's treatment differs, I hope that this podcast can answer some of the questions or concerns that you have, or allow you to have questions that you can raise to your medical team.
