Knowledge Is Key in Patient Advocacy

Understanding the disease and treatments are key aspects of being a patient advocate, explained MPN Hero Marcy Worthington.
BY Marcy Worthington
PUBLISHED January 07, 2019


In order to be their own advocates, patients should know about their disease and their treatment options, explained Marcy Worthington, a patient advocate. Patients must also realize that treatment is not a one-size-fits-all approach, and just because something works for one person, it might not work for someone else.

Worthington was diagnosed with polycythemia vera in 2002, and became a list owner of MPN-NET, the MPN Education Foundation’s online support group. She was also recently honored by CURE as a 2018 MPN Hero.
