10ish years ago Myleoma was a semi death sentence, it’s now coming close to being treated like a chronic condition. There are definitely improvements happening, but we’ll often miss them because it’s incremental rather than “we developed this cure for lung cancer and it’s no longer a problem”

Edit: some of the replies below are pretty bleak “it’s just a few months that’s nothing”. The difference between a 5 year and 15 year life expectancy for a parent being diagnosed with blood cancer around 60 is huge.
