Welcome to Season 18 of Marrow Masters, produced for the National Bone Marrow Transplant Link, and sponsored by Sanofi and Jazz Pharmaceuticals. This season is all about the caregivers. Our guests will offer up their best tips, experiences and advice. We’ll cover the importance of self-care and share heartwarming stories of compassion and love.

You'll hear from an RN and transplant manager at Atlanta's Northside Hospital, a CEO of a cancer organization who found herself in the cargiver role, an oncology social worker, a survivor who had an army of caregivers, and a male and female caregiver. You'll want to hear how those roles affected the dynamics of their relationships.

This season, we're also including an empathy exercise- demonstrated by the National Bone Marrow Transplant LINK's own social worker, Jennifer Gillette. While most of us are fortunate not to know first-hand what it's like to have cancer, this exercise will open your eyes to what your loved one may be experiencing.
