Yeah, in general but with Multiple Myeloma they don't know what causes it and how to prevent it. We've been "fighting" cancers for decades and still don't know what causes it. I suspect best prevention is more natural food sources with less additives, pesticides, bioengineering, hormone treatments, etc.

On the treatment side, I have heard some new treatments in the last 2 years are way ahead of the treatments available 10 years ago and have better success than the urine redoping. Keys seem to be:

1. early diagnosis and treatment
2. consistent looking at quality of life issues during treatment
3. planning legacy activities to reduce stress during treatment
