Show Notes
Listen in as Alicia and Lizette speak with Casey Biltz Marsh. Casey is a high school mathematics teacher and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) survivor. With Spring Break approaching, Casey noticed her increasing fatigue however, attributed it to the demands of a high school teacher during that time. Casey realized something was very wrong when she attended a Garth Brooks concert with ‘standing room only’ tickets and found herself paying a nearby shoe shine station multiple times just to get off her feet. Join the conversation as Casey describes how her life changed after her fourth visit to Urgent Care. She shares how she was diagnosed with AML, how she prepared for and recovered from her stem cell transplant, the importance of asking questions and maintaining a positive mindset even during the roughest times.
