  • Summary

  • This is Bob Tufts of My Life is Worth It for A Healthier You. When I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma over eight years ago, the median survival rate was only one to three years. Luckily for me, science and biomedical innovation have changed that. Ten new myeloma treatments were introduced in the past year. The five year survival rate for myeloma patients is now almost 50 percent, and at some hospitals it is 63 percent.. In the eight years since my diagnosis, I have taught over 1500 students at three colleges, served as a school advisor, and coached hundreds of young baseball players at Major League Baseball Players Alumni clinics. I want all cancer patients to have those extra years to enjoy life, and contribute to society. That’s why we must stop mindless cost-cutting, and refocus our health care system on patients. Our lives are worth it. For more details, go to Facebook/BetterHealthCarePolicy.
