For the first episode of season 5 of Karger’s The Waiting Room Podcast, we spoke with Alastair Boyle. He was diagnosed with myelodysplasia, a type of blood cancer, in 2008 and eventually had to retire from his work as a firefighter in 2014. Ally then focused on patient and public involvement and providing input to charities, research studies and committees, for example, by serving as a Trustee for Blood Cancer UK.
We spoke about his experiences with blood cancer, his work as a patient advocate and trustee as well as Blood Cancer Awareness Month in September.
