Multiple Myeloma - Save Yourself!!!!  Dr. Hofmeister, of The James Cancer Center at Ohio State University, as part of Multiple Myeloma Awareness Month, has offered to provide a free second opinion over the phone to a worthy myeloma patient anywhere in the world.  As I have stated time and time  again a multiple myeloma specialist can double and triple your life expectancy and survival rate.   All that is required is that your provide an email to [email protected] outlining the reasons you might have a need of a second opinion from a multiple myeloma specialist.  We will then determine the patient  most in need.  That it all that is required.  Once you have been chosen we will require that you forward all of your required test results to Dr. Hofmeister for his review.   If I find that there is a siginificant need I will pay Dr. Hofmeister from my own pocket for one additional second opinion to help "SAVE LIFE".  Dr. Jan Moreb of The Shands at the University of Florida has also generous in providing a consult.  Dr. Moreb's myeloma program has shown exceptional life expectancy and survival rates.   Any other people who would like to contribute can contact me as well.

Thank you Dr. Hofmeister and Dr. Moreb for your generous donations.  Dr. Hofmeister's exact donation is even better for anyone who may be able to visit his facility in Columbus, Ohio.  Dr. Hofmeister states: " Happy to review someone's records and talk with them by phone as a second opinion.  If they come to Ohio State for a 2nd opinion, there insurance will be billed for the labs, the nurse's time, etc.  That said if the patient has no resources, we see patients without insurance and have social workers that will handhold the patient through medicaid and all that "

Dr. Moreb's response to my request was " I will be happy to participate.  Thank you for doing this."   Dr. Moreb, we thank you for your selfless generosity!


However, if you are not chosen, you can still get a second opinion on line from Dr. Hofmeister for  a very reasonable price if you go to the web site: https://2nd.md/disease/multiplemyeloma .  Consults on this site are very reasonably priced and run from $100 to $250 for a 20 minute consult.  A consult  with Dr. Hofmeister could  just SAVE LIFE! Maybe yours! 

And as always, may God Bless your multiple myeloma jouney /Gary Petersen

My husband has been diagnosed with multiple myeloma. He is 77 years old and is being treated by Dr. Brian Henderson, oncologist and hematologist. He has tried Revlimid and Velcade. Neither proved helpful. He is scheduled to begin a course of DOXIL plus steroids. He has lost a lot of weight, and body strength. Does this sound reasonable? Should we seek a second opinion or is this nasty disease not yet subject to any particular " standard of care"?
Thank you in advance for answering,
A very worried wife

Beth, I think that a second opinion would be in order. Dr. Berenson would be an excellent second opinion and he is located in LA. If you do a google search and do "Dr. Brian Henderson multiple myeloma", nearly nothing comes up, whereas when you do the same for "Dr. Berenson multiple myeloma" there are pages and pages. The local doctor can work with a MM specialist to implement and follow up on the treatment plan. At 77 he may not be a candidate for stem cell transplant, so I am recommending one of the best non transplant doctors in the world, the other is Dr. Asher Chanan-Kahn of Mayo Jacksonville,FL, The fact that Rd is not working says to me that you need EXPERT help!!!
Good luck and may God Bless your families Myeloma journey/Gary Petersen
