The journey: staying on top of your cancer

The patient authors with over 48 years of combined real-world experience with chronic   myeloid leukemia, and a health care professional, use their own personal experiences to describe the factors that may affect the patient-doctor relationship, patient care and outcomes. The authors believe that this   podcast series and associated manuscript will aid both patients and health care professionals to improve their patient-doctor relationships and   communication through diagnosis, treatment decision-making and learning to   live with CML (or another disease). In this episode, they discuss communication between a patient and their health care team and establishing a treatment protocol.
