Guest: Dr Justin  du Toit | Clinical Haematologist at Wits Donald Gordon Medical Centre Multiple Myeloma, a cancer of the blood, is a lesser known cancer, but it does affect a significant number of people in South Africa. Aside from HIV, Multiple Myeloma is one of the most frequently seen malignancies of the blood. It can also take a while to diagnose due to it mostly affecting people upwards of fifty, with vague symptoms that can be easily ascribed to age – like tiredness and pain.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
