As someone with MM, I truly appreciate Mr. Brokaw's public sharing.  One thing though, he and everyone talk about how critical our care givers are.  My wife is to a medical professional and was probably more involved in my treatments than me LOL.
I saw his recent special and wish we could do one on our caregivers.  My dear wife is one of the big reasons I am in remission, of that there is no doubt in my mind.
If Mr. Brokaw sees this, let's chat about getting some real focus on the caregivers!
By the way I was treated at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Myeloma Institute for Research and Therapy.  My sincerest thanks to Dr. Barlogie and the entire staff there

I applaud and agree with Tom Brokaw's expression of gratitude and appreciation for the research and care provided by Multiple Myeloma (MM) physicians and their teams - especially at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

I just want to add my thanks to Dr. Paul G, Richardson, Leader and Director of Clinical Research at Dana-Farber for his expertise, care and concern for his MM patients.

Although Tom Brokaw did not say it in his speech, I would bet that in the venue and location of his speech, he would agree that obstacles are really challenges that rely on a "Boston Strong!" response; and the Marathon against MM goes on.Thank You, Tom.
