Melanoma. Myeloma. To the general public, cancer is cancer. But to those of us for whom myeloma is a reality of life, awareness of this growing cancer is critical if we are to improve early diagnosis and provision of new treatment options—treatments that increase not only the percentage of patients responding well to treatment, but the length of their survival—and gain support for myeloma research around the world.
Stay tuned for future announcements about this exciting event, as well as specific information about how you can become involved!
