You are working and have been diagnosed with multiple myeloma. You are generally younger(see graph below) and as such have a longer life expectancy and survival rate, and will be in the workforce for a long time. Thank God! If your disease allows you to work, what are your challenges? How are you viewed in the workplace? Can you be fired? What are your promotional opportunities?. Will anyone else hire you? Does your employer have adequate insurance? What if you use all you family leave for treatment, can you be terminated? There are a lot of questions that come up that are not typical for the average patient who is age 70, retired and on Medicare, with supplemental drug insurance, and hopefully Medicare Gap Insurance. You can find more information on the meeting by CLICKING HERE, or to just sign up you can CLICK HERE.
