Cora:
Dr. Tannir, what do you advise your newly diagnosed RMC patients and their care partners to not do?
Dr. Tannir:
The main message I have for patients with RMC and their caregivers partners is to not panic and important my advice is to tell them to get the facts, get the right information, right facts, medical facts from reliable sources, because there is a lot of stuff on social media that some of it may not be accurate. And so in terms of what they should not do other than they should not panic I think they should support their loved one in their journey as you supported Herman. They should get the rest they need, they should avoid strenuous, extreme intense exercise. They should eat healthy food well-balanced food, stay well-hydrated, seek the care at the best place they can have access to, and keep the hope alive. That’s my activation tip. Do not panic, do not panic, there is hope.
