Is A Cure For Myeloma Imminent? HBO's Vice Special Report: Killing Cancer Explores That Possibility

HBO's Vice Special Report: Killing Canceris one report anyone affected with cancer, including multiple myeloma (which receives serious air time), won't want to miss.

The documentary, hosted by Shane Smith, explores exciting, groundbreaking research into how cancer can be cured by using viruses. In it, three clinical trials are featured, including the promising high dose measles vaccine for multiple myeloma. In the trial, Mayo Clinic's Dr. Stephen Russell isolated and protected the patient’s healthy cells while sending the measles virus into the body to kill only the bad cells.

In one such case, myeloma patient Stacy Erholtz, achieved remission after the treatment. The Myeloma Crowd interviewed Stacy about it. You can read the article by clicking here.
