This session was very informational to me. I have had myeloma now for two yrs. I was told by my primary doctor that my blood work did not look good. She just told me to make an appointment with a blood specialist. No early warnings were given to me. I had recently lost my mom, I just thought I was just losing weigh from grief and I knew I was getting tired easily. This session gave a good insight too so much. Thank you all.
