Achieve Deeper, Longer Remission Through the Long List of Both Conventional and Non-Conventional Multiple Myeloma Therapies

You were diagnosed with an incurable blood cancer called multiple myeloma. You were ecstatic when you found out that your induction chemo regimen put you into remission. You are living with some anemia and nerve damage but you can live with these side effects.

Unfortunately your MM has come out of remission and your numbers are increasing. Your oncologist wants to put you back on a “triplet” of chemotherapy with Darzalex, Velcade and Dexamethasone.

This is your ongoing challenge in a nutshell. Longer, deeper remissions without those awful side effects. Don’t expect your oncologist to talk about anything that is NOT FDA approved.

There can be hundreds of studies proving the efficacy of integrative and/or complementary therapies but if a therapy isn’t researched and approved by the FDA, your oncologist won’t talk about it.

Please watch the video below to learn more about the evidence-based, integrative therapies to combat treatment side effects and enhance your chemotherapy.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
