On March 21, 2020, the International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) published Brian G.M. Durie’s answers to the top 10 questions they received from myeloma patients about COVID-19. The questions and answers are relevant to our Canadian myeloma community as well, so we encourage you to take a few minutes to check it out.; it may help you with some of the concerns you have. 

Some of the topics covered include:

• How do I decrease my risk of exposure to the coronavirus? 

• Should I continue with my myeloma treatment?

• Should I undergo an autologous stem-cell transplant (ASCT) at this time?

• Are packages delivered to my home safe?

As always, it’s best to check with your healthcare provider for any specific questions or issues about your health, healthcare regime or protocols.
