OsTEAo - An Honest Q&A with Osteosarcoma AYA Patients, Survivors, and Siblings

OsteoWarriors Camille and Mia are joined by members of the MIB Agents Junior Advisory Board to discuss questions submitted by patients, caregivers, clinicians, and researchers. This episode was inspired by the tremendous interest and engagement in the patient panel at the MIB Agents FACTOR 2023 osteosarcoma conference. Camille, Mia, and our Junior Advisory Board discuss many topics including cancer misconceptions, the cringiest things you can say to someone with cancer, what makes them feel supported and seen in their journey by friends and loved ones, making decisions about surgical options, how they cope with scanxiety and preparing for a procedure, and what gets them through their hardest times. --- What We Do at MIB Agents: PROGRAMS: End-of-Life MISSIONS Gamer Agents Agent Writers Prayer Agents Healing Hearts - Bereaved Parent and Sibling Support Ambassador Agents - Peer Support Warrior Mail Young Adult Survivorship Support Group EDUCATION for physicians, researchers and families: OsteoBites, weekly webinar & podcast with thought leaders and innovators in Osteosarcoma MIB Book: Osteosarcoma: From our Families to Yours RESEARCH: Annual MIB FACTOR Research Conference Funding multiple $100,000 and $50,000 grants annually for OS research MIB Testing & Research Directory The Osteosarcoma Project partner with Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard ...
