Waldenström macroglobulinemia: Who dares wins – An Interview with Bob Perry

Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) is a rare blood cancer that usually progresses slowly. To learn more about WM, we spoke with Bob Perry, who was diagnosed with 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; https://wmuk.org.uk).
