Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) is a rare blood cancer that usually progresses slowly. WM can be diagnosed by blood tests, bone marrow biopsy, and scans, and there are a range of treatment options available.
In this episode of Karger’s The Waiting Room Podcast, we talk with Bob Perry. He was diagnosed with Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) in 2015 and treated with chemotherapy. Since then, he set up a support group, the Bournemouth and District WM Support Group aka the BAD WMers. He is also Patient Support Manager at the UK charity Waldenström Macroglobulinaemia UK (WMUK).
This is the first interview of our two-part special on Waldenström macroglobulinemia. The second part, focusing on symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of WM, will feature Dr Shirley D’Sa. She is a Consultant Haematologist and Honorary Associate Professor at University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in London, UK, as well as the author of the booklet “Fast Facts for Patients: Waldenström macroglobulinemia”, which is freely available online.
