Description
Crystal Sanford, M.Ed., M.A. CCC-SLP wears many hats, including special education advocate, speech pathologist, entrepreneur, author, and cancer survivor. In 2014, Crystal was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma (a rare blood cancer impacting the bone marrow). Now she is a two-time cancer survivor with a passion for empowering everyone to thrive in the midst of life's challenges.
✨A few highlights from the show:
1. Multiple myeloma can't be cured yet, but it is treatable. It is becoming a managed illness that many people are learning to live with.
2. Some doctors recommend that patients with multiple myeloma have no more than 2 stem cell transplants during the course of their treatment.
3. Multiple myeloma resources: Health Tree Foundation, https://healthtree.org/myeloma/community/black-myeloma-health & International Myeloma Foundation, https://www.myeloma.org/

🦄About Me:
In 2011, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma, out of the blue. I did not have any prior health concerns or issues. Fast forward, the dreaded cancer diagnosis opened my eyes, introduced me to my purpose, and lead me to where I am today.
As a Cancer Doula, I use my 11 years of experience with cancer to support and guide others diagnosed with cancer. Many people are not familiar with what a cancer doula is. Think of me as a personal patient advocate. Schedule a free 30-minute Meet and Greet call to learn more. https://bit.ly/OTOSDiscovery
