Kim Cook: Bringing Rare Blood Cancers Into the Conversation
Kim Cook, Senior Manager of Information Security Risk Management at Instructure, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month, and for our family, that means shining a light on something we live with every day.
My husband has Essential Thrombocythemia (ET), a rare blood cancer that causes the bone marrow to produce too many platelets.
It’s part of a group called myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), which many people have never heard of.
ET doesn’t always look like cancer from the outside.
It’s managed through lifelong monitoring, medication, and a lot of patience.
Awareness helps others understand that rare blood cancers exist and that early detection can make a real difference.
If you’ve never heard of ET or MPNs, take a moment to learn.
The more we talk about them, the less invisible they become.”
