Following her diagnosis of thyroid cancer in June 2020, Patricia felt lost and fearful while undergoing treatment.

But when I went to go do my blood work. My ferritin was below range. It was super low. And so I knew because I was having all the symptoms of iron deficiency, this unreal fatigue. This is not the only thing but was a major driver for my source of fatigue. So I was just kind of piecing things together, like what would I do as a provider for myself?”
