The Bloodline with LLS: Recent Episodes
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society
Behind every policy is a patient, caregiver, or family whose story helped make change possible.
In this episode, we speak with Andrea Sanchez and Becki Chandler, volunteer advocates with Blood Cancer United, about the power of patient voices in shaping public policy. Drawing from their own family experiences with blood cancer, they discuss issues ranging from medical debt and insurance coverage to clinical trial access and research funding and explain how patients and caregivers can make their voices heard.
Learn why sharing your story matters and how personal experiences help lawmakers see that patients are more than numbers on a page. Behind every statistic is a real person, a unique story, and a family impacted by blood cancer.

What happens when a sibling match becomes the key to survival?
In this heartfelt episode, we speak with Peter and Susan Feinberg, a brother-sister duo connected by both family and a lifesaving stem cell transplant. Peter, an acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) survivor, shares his experience from diagnosis to remission, while Susan offers a rare and intimate view into what it means to be a stem cell donor. Together, they reflect on the emotional and logistical challenges of transplant, the determination to succeed when miles apart, and the hope it represents. Their story sheds light on the real impact of donation—and why joining the registry can mean everything to someone waiting.

Steve BuechlerAs a cancer patient or caregiver, telling your story can not only be a way to update loved ones about your condition or be a comfort to current patients, it can be healing for yourself. In this episode, we speak to Steve Buechler about his treatment for acute myeloid leukemia as well as his experience through survivorship.
Steve shares how writing helped him heal from the emotional effects of cancer. As an LLS volunteer, he now facilitates writing workshops for our LLS Community and wrote an article about how language matters when speaking to patients.
