The diagnosis was overwhelming and making snap decisions on selecting a hematologist and course of treatment was challenging. “Frankly, I didn’t know enough about my disease to know where to start,” says Wallace. “I needed information quickly in order to make educated decisions about my treatment; it was an intense period of adjusting to a new norm.
