Thank you Greg. I findyour essays fascinating and well written. I thought I knew quite a lot about myeloma, having lived with it thanks to 2 stem cell transplants, for just over 17 years. Have you read The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot? It’s a fascinating account of the life of the woman whose cell lines, “hela cells” are still in use today. Her cells were used to develop FISH testing for myeloma.
Thank, Barb. I am embarrassed to admit I have not read it. I attended so many meetings when it came out, read so many reviews, that I feel like I know what the main points are. It is a remarkable story. I'll put in on my reading list!
