I'm no expert, but I do know that myeloma is a personal cancer. It manifests itself differently in most everybody. In that regard I'm bothered by some definitive comments about how to attack and treat the disease. I don't think you can make blanket statements. As an example, i know Berenson's approach isn't for everyone. But it is for me. He has worked wonders for me. I'd recommend him to anyone that asked. But I also would not tell people that their approach is wrong. There is no right or wrong. You chose a path and give it your best shot.
Having vented all of the above. Here is the link to Pat's latest. It's a great post and really gets you thinking. http://multiplemyelomablog.com/2014/09/relapsedrefractory-patients-face-difficult-choices.html
Pat puts it like it is. Wow. Very thought provoking and sobering - but important.
