In 2002, after three stem cell transplants had provided a decade of remissions, Jim Bond of Shaker Heights, Ohio, was running out of options. His multiple myeloma, a cancer of bone marrow plasma cells, was raging out of control, and Jim knew he was facing death. That's when he and his wife Kathleen asked his doctor about a new drug they had learned was showing promising results in early clinical trials.

I was at my place of work in 1985 when I had a fall cracking a couple of ribs. When the Doctor examined me at this time, he asked me whether or not I was aware that I had an enlarged heart. Of course I was not. So he sent me off to have blood tests and then referred me to a Hematologist at Royal Perth Hospital, where I underwent further M.R.I. scans and various other tests.
