I can't believe there has been no comments 🤔
I have multiple myeloma and this presentation has been extremely helpful and validating. I had asked my oncologist to refer me to a therapist that understood the psychological effects of cancer (especially multiple myeloma) but the therapist didn't even know what multiple myeloma was, which was so disappointing. This presentation helped me understand what I have been feeling and has validated these feelings...thank you very much 🙏
