Managing Side Effects of MGUS/Smoldering Myeloma Patients

Webinar

Oct 18, 2022 / 07:00PM - 08:00PM EDT

Event Description

Many MGUS and Smoldering Myeloma Patients experience side effects like bone pain, fatigue, anemia, etc. but are not sure if it has to do with the precursor disease or if it's caused by other factors.

Unfortunately this means that all MGUS and Smoldering Myeloma patients should ALWAYS see a myeloma specialist if they are experiencing symptoms of the kind. However, that doesn't mean those side effects can't be effectively managed through patient-lead solutions.

Join us as we talk about how to search for crowd-sourced and proven side effect solutions for symptoms that you might be experiencing as a precursor myeloma patient. We look forward to connecting with you!
