Myeloma didn't stop my game- by Lynne Hayhow, NT

'My husband, Wayne and I had moved to Darwin 14 years ago. Living in remote Australia worked for me as I didn’t feel lost in the system. My team were happy with my progress regarding my RCC but through routine blood tests in January 2024 and scans a small lytic lesion was found on my lower spine, this confirmed myeloma and so my journey began.

I am an avid lawn bowler and the encouragement from my club, and the state, meant I was still able to compete regularly and try out to represent Northern Territory (NT) in a national lawn bowls event.'

Your voice could bring a life-changing myeloma treatment closer to approval.

A promising new treatment for myeloma is under review for funding through the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) and your personal story can make a critical difference in their approval.

Teclistamab is a type of immunotherapy called a bispecific antibody. It works by recognising and binding to proteins on two different types of cells and then bringing the cells together. It is given as an injection into the skin (subcutaneously) once per week after the initial phase where the dose is gradually increased over a period.

The PBAC will be reviewing an application for funding for teclistamab in the treatment of people living with myeloma who have had three prior lines of therapy.

You can add your experience of living with or caring for someone with myeloma by completing the online form on the PBAC’s website [ https://ohta-consultations.health.gov.au/ohta/pbac-march-2026/ ] by Wednesday 21 January 2026
