my husband was diagnosed with this in 2013. this video is the first i've seen that clearly explained the pathophysiology for us. i appreciate that you trusted your audience enough to not be afraid to dip into slightly deeper detail when needed. thank you.

Thank you for precious information. I wonder there are some cases of "stem cell transplantation" for this disease in America.

I was diagnosed with 6 year's ago. Have blood work done very often. It did not scare me as bad as the lung cancer I was diagnosed with at the same time. The lung cancer is no longer after the removal of my up lung.

Good explanation of a complex condition. A friend of mine had this. He didn’t die of Waldenstrom’s though, but of pneumonia.
