In this series of podcasts you will hear from patients and many healthcare experts caring for patients with Multiple Myeloma. The conversations focus on the patient journey from diagnosis, through treatment and living well post treatment.

Conversations include Caroline's patient journey of living with a new diagnosis and Anne's patient journey of living well with relapsed MM. You will hear experts discuss the different stages of MM including Smouldering Myeloma, active disease and relapsed refractory MM. Managing a diagnosis of MM requires a multidisciplinary approach, therefore this series features conversations around patient involvement, nursing and dietary advice as well as psychosocial support. Finally our conversations also focus on the progress of research and development in managing MM into the future. more
