The news has been filled with reports about the death of Stan Winston from myeloma the last few days. I didn’t know who he was, but I saw many of the films on which he worked. As a myeloma patient though, I was more interested in his disease than his work. I wanted to know what treatments he had tried and how aggressive his cancer was. Where was he treated? Did he have a stem cell transplant? Did he have any remissions during that seven years?
None of my questions was answered. I think he may have been treated at the IMBCR, because I saw that listed as one of the preferred recipients of donations to be made in his memory.
The Institute for Myeloma and Bone Cancer Research has published some good videos which will answer some of your questions. These were informative for me, even after having lived with myeloma for the past 5 years.
