- James Bond shares his experience being diagnosed with, treated for, and living with multiple myeloma, and his wife Kathleen shares her strategies for supporting a loved one with multiple myeloma.
What a wonderful story! My husband was diagnosed in 2010, although they were wavering between MM and MDS. He was on a couple of different chemos and having blood transfusions every 10 days to 2 weeks. Then they tried Velcade... no more transfusions! Stayed on that for a couple of years, weaning down to a maintenance dose. This coming February will mark 10 yrs off all treatment in remission. He never had a transplant but they did do a stem cell harvest, just in case. Thank God for his doc at Dana Farber, Dr Jacob Laubach. I think my husband's positive attitude played a role as much as staying as healthy as possible did. Good luck and good health to you both!
You are so blessed. My husband is a cancer survivor so I study all kinds of cancers. You have been the most moving. You amaze me. Keep fighting and living a happy life. God bless you.
Greetings from mauritius. Take care. Faith to doctors and medications. God blessed.
Thank for sharing, I have lots of bones pain.,hard to walk
No treatment for bone pain?
Please try serrapeptase supplements on empty stomach and wait an hour before you have breakfast . I have myeloma too and these magical supplements made the pain disappear
I was diagnosed in 2017 stages 3 two stem cell transplants and now my husband has the same cancer.
Cripes. How does that happen I wonder?
❤Thank you for sharing.
It’s beyond me how anyone can have more than one stem cell transplant. I had one in May of 2023. It’s a tough process to go through.
What makes it a tough process can you describe your process and what you felt
Well, you forget hiw bad the first one was and you do it again. 6 years difference foe me.
Thank you both from ❤

I am being tested as my lambda fee light chain is at 155. You give me hope.. once I search multiple myeloma it becomes scary..
Hi my father is diagnosed recently too
Thank you both for sharing & encouraging others and most of all providing hope. Just read your book. We live an hour from Cleveland and are now making decisions regarding a tumor on my husband’s kidney after 5 years of remission after a stem cell transplant. We have been seeking 2nd opinions and scared. Your story reminds that nothing is impossible. Thank you ❤
What was the drug they were testing?
