The patient authors with over 48 years of combined real-world experience with chronic myeloid leukemia, and a healthcare professional, use their own personal experiences to describe the factors that may affect the patient-doctor relationship, patient care and outcomes. The authors believe that this podcast series and associated manuscript will aid both patients and healthcare professionals to improve their patient-doctor relationships and communication through diagnosis, treatment decision-making and learning to live with CML (or another disease). In this episode, they discuss the importance of the patient-doctor relationship, the patient authors' own diagnosis experiences and considerations when selecting a health care team.
