Combination of Books Available for Multiple Myeloma Patients and/or Their Friends and Families

I received a book order today from someone in California. I am guessing that they, or someone they love, was recently diagnosed with multiple myeloma because they ordered three books: My book, Living with Multiple Myeloma, an excellent book called 100 Questions and Answers About Multiple Myeloma as well as a research guide Multiple Myeloma- Translational and Emerging Therapies. Production of the last two books is subsidized by drug companies so we are able to sell them for $9.99 each, with all of the money being donated to myeloma related research. What a great idea! The combination of these three books gives the reader an extensive background into myeloma and recent therapies used to treat the disorder. My Help With Cancer Internet Bookstore automatically charges $3.95 shipping and handling for each book. It isn't sophisticated enough to adjust to charge less for multiple book orders, so the order total was $46.23. To help out, I included a copy of the $40 DVD, also called Living with Multiple Myeloma at no additional charge. I would be more than happy to include the DVD free with any multiple book order until I can get the shipping thing figured out!
Feel good, keep smiling and remember: An informed patient, especially when being treated for a disease like myeloma with so many treatment options, is an empowered, healthier patient! Pat
