Worse time of the year to deal with something like cancer, please keep up the fight, our prayers are with you and for you.
Sorry to hear about your relapse. Have you talked to your doctor to see if you qualify for new medical trials?
In recent years, new medications approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have transformed the way this cancer is treated. These new drugs have doubled the survival of multiple myeloma patients, progress unmatched in any other cancer. New combinations of older drugs are also proving successful. Researchers expect the picture for people with multiple myeloma to improve even more.
