I began treatment for MM June 10, 2025. I am receiving Sarclisa infusion and I am prescribed Revlimid. I am considered not eligible for stem cell translant. My hemoglobin is below 10. This week’s infusion was cancelled because my infection fighting neutrophils are too low. I am completely void in mood, no ambition, interest, or desire. Even the things I used to enjoy do not interest me. I am discouraged and isolated. Is my void mood common in MM and low hemoglobin?

GI Amyloidosis can be complicated to diagnose and treat...

I don't have cancer but my wife does and I am slowly learning how to cope. Where can I find advice on communicating with her, friends and family?

On Monday, dozens of healthcare providers have agreed to make fewer medical procedures subject to prior authorization while also agreeing to speed up the process. Insures are also pledging to use clearer language when communicating with patients and promised that medical professionals would review coverage denials. Keep in mind that this is not mandated by any law. This agreement does not spell out how it would would help the sickest patients or those who need expensive treatment. Most of this isn't new and some of the agreements have already been in place or required, such as under the ACA. Additionally, insurers are going to make more use of AI to help speed up the prior authorization process. The key take away is; the prior authorizations are not going away, but perhaps the process can be more efficient.
