This is a must listen to for any person dx. with MM for them to remain positive and working toward the goal of beating this disease.And especially their Drs. to provide them with the most up to date tx. available. These combination "cocktails" are moving from "novel" to standard at a rapid pace. Thanks to all those courageous patients who have volunteered for the early trials.Now, if we can only convince the pharmaceutical and insurance companies to start these as a first line of defense and not wait for a relapse therapy. Take care;Kevin K. C. Tue, 26 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT
