Your first treatment is your most important treatment. It sets the stage for the course of your myeloma experience. This is when you are least equipped with the knowledge you need, and also when you need that knowledge the most. Our HealthTree University course on Starting Myeloma Treatment is taught by some of the top specialists in myeloma and our goal is to help you get started the right way.

Below are some video excerpts from our HealthTree University curriculum to help you learn more about these important areas of your disease. By creating a HealthTree account, in HealthTree University you can:
