The Myeloma Survival Guide makes sense of the difficult questions myeloma patients face, dealing with every aspect of life after diagnosis, from creating a wellness team to navigating treatment options to building a financial safety net. Jim Tamkin, MD, who lived with myeloma for 11 years, and Dave Visel share the insights they've gained as a doctor, patient, and caregiver, including:

  • Everything you need to know about drugs and treatments, including stem cell transplants
  • How to deal with the pain and side effects of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery
  • Insurance and tax benefits to save money and get you the care you deserve
  • Take-charge tools you can use today to feel better tomorrow

The second edition has been thoroughly updated and includes a new chapter on pills and medical adherence.

"An invaluable guide to patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. Not only have they provided clear information on the disease and its treatment, but most importantly also convey critical guidance on how to deal with the very personal life-impacting effects of this disease for patients and family members alike."

-- Kenneth C. Anderson, MD, Kraft Family Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, and Director, Jerome Lipper Multiple Myeloma Center and LeBow Institute for Myeloma Therapeutics, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
