Shari Denovan and Flora Dangua, specialist nurses in bone marrow transplant treatment at the Royal Free Hospital
Secret cancer given starring role

FROM the hospital atrium to the theatre foyer a rare form of cancer is taking centre stage.
Specialist nurses handed out leaflets at the Royal Free last week to raise awareness of myeloma, which attacks plasma cells, the body’s defence system in the blood.
And tonight (Thursday) playwright Amy Rosenthal, daughter of comedienne Maureen Lipman, is dedicating the gala night of her new play to Myeloma UK.
Her father, London’s Burning screenwriter Jack Rosenthal, died of myeloma in 2004
Tickets cost £40, including pre-show and interval drinks and canapés, and a post-show discussion.
Specialist nurse at the Royal Free, Flora Dangwa, said: “The vast majority of people who are diagnosed with myeloma have never heard the word before.”
