Ep. 7: Talking Hematology & Cancers of the Blood with Nurse Erin Mercier
Show Notes

It’s been months since my last episode! I’ve been very busy with school and work and haven’t been focussed on this at all. I love doing these and I’ve been eager to make this episode with my good friend Erin Mercier @emerce7 .
Erin is a registered nurse who has worked in hematology for 10+ years. Focussing on working with patients with hematological malignancy, also known as cancers of the blood. We are talking today a little bit about cancers, blood, diagnosis and treatment without going above our pay grade/scope of practice. 
This is just a discussion about Erin’s experience working in this field and a little bit of the biology behind it, as it is so interesting. We discuss background, diagnosis, treatment as well as some of the exciting future potentials for treating these diseases.
DISCLAIMER: We are aware this is a highly sensitive area of discussion. We are not claiming to be experts. This is NOT medical advice, everything in this episode is for educational purposes as always.
