Patients with an incurable type of blood cancer will live longer and healthier lives thanks to a three-drug treatment which can be taken at home.

NHS spending watchdogs last week approved a combination of medicines designed to combat a form of the disease called multiple myeloma. It will be given to those who have failed to respond to other treatments.

Experts say the new combination of drugs is more convenient for patients as they come as pills which can be taken without medical supervision.

At most, patients will have to take three tablets a day.
