Weekly Poll - Initial Myeloma Therapy - ITALY - 2015

by Beacon Staff on Thu May 21, 2015 11:20 pm

This week’s poll topic is about what your initial myeloma therapy was upon your diagnosis. We are asking a series of these questions, one for each of several different countries.

A few clarifications:

First, this particular poll question is for residents of ITALY only. (Other polls for other countries are coming soon!)

Second, please answer this poll only if you have been diagnosed with multiple myeloma within the last two years.

Third, initial therapy is frequently called induction therapy. It does not matter for this question whether you proceeded to have a stem cell transplant after the initial therapy.

Fourth, if you are a caregiver or family member of a myeloma patient, feel free to answer on their behalf.

Fifth, if you received a therapy that is not included in the list above, please use the space below to describe it.

As always, feel free to post comments, thoughts, or feedback in the space below. They can be very useful to other readers.
