In our very first episode we meet our president Brian Rosengarten. Brian together with his wife Ros, Bob, Glenys, Donald and Judith started the Myeloma Foundation of Victoria. He tells the story of how it all began and the early years of the Foundation. We discuss the growth of the services that are provided and how it has come to what it is today, 23 years later. Brian also gives a beautiful personal account of his role as a carer and how his life changed after Ros’ diagnosis. We also hear about being presented an Order of Australia for his work in the myeloma community.
