We are grateful to have Mel Mann, the world's longest-living Gleevec survivor, on this episode. Mel sits down with us to chat about his terminal leukemia diagnosis journey and what it was like being told he only has 3 years to live. We touch on topics such as health inequality, how a clinical trial saved his life, and how self-advocacy (and advocating for others) can help not only increase awareness but also help push for better treatment options.
