March is here, and so is #MyelomaActionMonth!
Multiple myeloma is the second most common form of blood cancer β€” yet for many, it’s still a disease they only hear about when someone they love is diagnosed. That gap in awareness is exactly why this month matters.

Myeloma symptoms like back pain and fatigue can be vague, leading to delayed diagnosis. For Black Americans, diagnosis can take nearly 2x longer. This #BlackHistoryMonth, thank you Johnson & Johnson and Legend Biotech for supporting myeloma education. #IMFMPOWER https://mmsm.link/4a6GyM8

Black-and-white portrait of Dr. Jane C. Wright (1919–2013), pioneering Black surgeon, oncologist, and "mother of chemotherapy," seated at a laboratory workbench in a clinical research setting. She wears a white lab coat over a dark top and gazes directly at the camera with a composed, focused expression. In front of her is a large compound microscope with multiple objective lenses, adjustment knobs, and a stage, positioned prominently in the foreground. Her left hand rests near an open notebook or lab record book on the table, while stacks of papers or slides are visible nearby. The background shows softly blurred lab equipment and shelving, evoking a mid-20th-century medical research environment.

The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect.

CAR T-cell therapy is changing lives, but access barriers remain & timely treatment matters. The IMF joined coalition partners & Congressional staff on Capitol Hill to explain how CAR T works & why access must improve. Advocate for access: advocacy.myeloma.org

Seems as if this works β€” if employers start firing people for standing up for their neighbors and fellow humans β€” than a remedy is publicizing the identity of those employers.

Hard to believe it's been 38 years since I was diagnosed with Leukemia. So thankful that chemotherapy, which is a very real thing, was available and I went into remission relatively quickly. Don't listen to idiots who question science and doctors.

As I spent more and more of my life under the care of doctors, nurses, and researchers striving to improve the lives of others, I watched as Bobby cut nearly a half billion dollars for research into mRNA vaccines, technology that could be used against certain cancers; slashed billions in funding from the National Institutes of Health, the world's largest sponsor of medical research; and threatened to oust the panel of medical experts charged with recommending preventive cancer screenings. Hundreds of N.I.H. grants and clinical trials were cancelled, affecting thousands of patients. I worried about funding for leukemia and bone-marrow research at Memorial Sloan Kettering. I worried about the trials that were my only shot at remission. Early in my illness, when I
