Event Description

Dr. Jason Chen, a myeloma specialist working at a Veteran's Hospital, shares how he educates his newly diagnosed myeloma patients. In this event, he shares with the audience:

  1. Side Effects of Myeloma and Myeloma Treatment (not like standard chemo)

  2. Staging (how it's different than metastatic cancers)

  3. Survival Rates (good today and continually improving!)

By setting up realistic expectations for the newly diagnosed myeloma community, Dr. Chen helps his patients understand what's ahead of them and ease their worries.
