Why is a multiple myeloma patient never refractory to dexamethasone. After progressing through the last steroid regimen why do we punish them by continuing to give Them dexamethasone for the seventh regimen

I don’t think it is fair that the government insists that I drive sober. I feel that I can handle it and then it won’t affect me. I think the likelihood of me having an accident is less than 1%. It should be my personal freedom to drive drunk. #Immunizations

3 truths about MRD in #mmsm 1) MRD is prognostic 2) We do not know “yet” that altering treatment to achieve MRD negativity makes people live longer or better 3)Every single MRD meta-analysis compares good biology responders to bad biology non responders and is hence flawed.
