Myeloma Matters - Volume 8 Issue 6

Welcome to this issue of Myeloma Matters. An article by Dr Faith Davies from the Royal Marsden Hospital brings us up-to-date with the latest thinking about the value of prognostic factors in myeloma, and we thank Laura Dowling for sending us her article about her experience as a carer.

Read about the sequencing of the myeloma genome and the effect of polyphenols (natural chemicals found in plants) on Velcade in Myeloma scope, and about working with myeloma in our ‘Living With Myeloma’ section.

Our GP Pledge campaign continues to go from strength to strength; as we go to print 2194 Myeloma Diagnosis Pathways have found their way directly into the hands of GPs across the UK. I am therefore positive that we will surpass our initial target of 2,500. Thanks to everyone involved.
