HealthTree University: Starting Treatment (Part 2 of 3)

There is so much to learn when you're starting myeloma treatment! How do you choose a transplant, induction therapy, consolidation therapy, maintenance therapy, and fixed or continuous duration maintenance therapy? How do you know if you're in a remission and are done with treatment? It's important to know, so we asked the experts! 

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:
