Having been diagnosed in the UK 15 years ago - an SCT and two relapses and now being treated in Spain with DRD, I am really very impressed by your Q&A sessions. Always relevant questions and very informative answers. Thank you.

I have MM and it is no joke. Fractured vertebrae and surgery is a hard way to find out you have it so if you have a sore back get to a specialist. Thanks for the video.
