Tom I am here with Art and we are reviewing your posts which I am very grateful for. You have done some detailed research that MM patients can benefit from greatly! LMK if you would like any assistance with getting your research up here, as well as with your next phase of research.

This article boggles me, especially when they talk about life expectancy, because a cure has existed for this disease and all blood cancers for several decades. Its a harsh and dangerous treatment, but if successful it gives patients a chance at a long term life after cancer. Should it not be up to the patient to evaluate whether they would rather try to cure their disease with a bone marrow or stem cell transplant (like I did) rather than dying slowly with the “Standard Care” protocols over the short time frames discussed in this article? It is a crime not to give patients all their options, and it ought to be a law! Shame on any medical professionals that do not discuss this lifesaving option with every MM patient!

Multiple myeloma is a cancer that affects bone marrow and plasma cells. People do not usually have symptoms until they reach stage 3.
