Weekly Poll – Stage Of Myeloma At Diagnosis

by Beacon Staff on Wed Mar 28, 2012 3:45 pm

This week’s poll is about what stage of multiple myeloma you were diagnosed with.

A few clarifications:

First, please answer this poll based on your stage at diagnosis.

Second, there are two staging systems for multiple myeloma: the International Staging System (ISS) and the Durie-Salmon staging system. Please answer with your ISS score.

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

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