"It's the best treatment I've been on in 25 years, and it's been doing a really good job - I've been in remission for 18 months now. After all the harsh treatments over the years, I'm living better with this illness than I ever have."- Sharon
When Sharon broke a rib in June 1999, she never imagined it would lead to a life-changing diagnosis of multiple myeloma, an incurable but treatable type of blood cancer.
After 25 years of chemotherapy, multiple relapses, and challenging treatments, Sharon's story has taken a remarkable turn. Thanks to groundbreaking bispecific antibody therapy Teclistamab under the expert care of Dr Prem Mahendra here at The Harborne Hospital, Sharon is experiencing what she describes as ‘the best quality of life I’ve had in decades.’
This revolutionary immunotherapy works like a bridge, connecting Sharon's own immune cells directly to the cancer cells, activating them to destroy the disease with far fewer side effects than traditional treatments.
Her experience demonstrates how innovative treatments are transforming outcomes for myeloma patients, offering renewed hope even after years of challenging therapies.
