I think for me, myeloma doesn't seem rare, but I know that's not the case for many folks. So I think, you know, ongoing communication and awareness, I think that's part of that is on us to make sure we're engaging with community, doing outreach, things such as this and talks with community, talks with patients, talks with community providers. I think also what patients can do is patients with myeloma are very active and there are resources like MMRF for LLS, there's a lot of patient advocacy groups and things like that. So if you know someone with myeloma, trying to encourage them to involve and get engaged in those groups because there's a lot of opportunity to learn about the disease, but also connect with other patients and families. And I think it's just ongoing education and making sure that we're doing what we can do. Myeloma can be very complex and it's moving very fast, so making sure that we're providing those opportunities to make sure those of you in the community know what's out there and what's coming up next.
