    Christian, Satveer, and Ceinwen join Tatum to share their varied experiences of being diagnosed with a high-grade blood cancer.

    Christian had just moved out of home for the first time, Satveer was recently married and Ceinwen had given birth to her daughter, when they were thrust into the whirlwind of diagnosis and facing the impact of treatment. They touch on how their diagnosis impacted family dynamics, feelings of isolation and the task of explaining the diagnosis to others.

    There are tips for what they wish they'd know about sooner (shoutout to cooling towels!) and why talking to others who get it, makes a big difference.
