Hi Clay, thank you for sharing you story. I think the part of your story I'm more grateful for is that sometimes, you have to do more than one line of treatment to not only get better, but sometimes stay better. I'm currently undergoing treatment in Toronto Canada for Stage 4 Diffuse Large B cell Lymphoma. It was quite advanced when we finally found it and I know that the first line treatment just might not be enough. Thank you for fighting and for sharing.

Sheba, thanks for your kind words. So glad you're in treatment now - sending my very best wishes to you as you go through everything. If it's helpful, there are more patient stories here (for NHL): www.thepatientstory.com/cancers/non-hodgkin-lymphoma/

Thanks for this great video. Now I'm on Dara, Dex and side effects meds. Been diagnosed 6 1/2 years, so I feel I'm living successfully with MM. Allergic to Revlimid but did it for a year with anti-histamines. Dara has been spectacularly successful with my lowest ever MM numbers, but I find the Dex more problematic with weight gain and insomnia. Worth it tho'!

Hello Natasha! My name is Miryam and I work for Global Patients. We are a medical research company and we are currently working on a study about Multiple Myeloma in the UK. It is a non interventional paid study. Do you think your brother would be interested? Many thanks!
