Often when there’s a cognitive concern, it’s a family member that is calling saying, “I just want to make sure my mom should still be driving after this happened, or after this diagnosis.” Somebody who’s older, maybe just diagnosed them with very mild dementia. Emmy: Yeah.

And so, unfortunately, I think for a while, this condition, for many people, isn’t diagnosed until you end up seeing a cardiologist or a heart failure doctor who’s really honed in on this to say, actually, this is a heart failure syndrome.

I’ve been on a quest to build those services and support so that people can make true, informed decisions for themselves and their families.

So this is about two and a half, three years out from leukemia diagnosis. And the point of that is that so many people, in my experience, and I’m sure it’s the same initial diagnosis of cancer, that’s the last thing that I want to talk about.
