I am sorry your sister died from myeloma. My grandmother also died of myeloma when she was 89. Of course, back then—80’s, I think—melphalan and radiation were the only txs. I finally found a physician at Creighton University who headed up a study of familial myeloma. But still most physicians today don’t give any credence to the significance of a family member dying of myeloma. Sometimes I think the field of medicine is like religion—fixed beliefs and excruciatingly slow to change.
