Receiving a cancer diagnosis is not easy and requires skills and direction. We're a team
of patient and caregiver volunteers, here to help you navigate this diagnosis with a
compass, not a map. We can help guide you to find and use the best resources so you can
better navigate your care.
Coaches can provide guidance in finding a specialist, learning about financial aid or
using online and digital resources that can help you live longer and better.
“Because this disease is treatable, it’s important to have someone to talk to that can help
you through the emotional and physical aspects. Coaches are essential in fighting myeloma.
When you have a Coach, it helps build a positive attitude that you can get through this
disease.”DOUG STEWART, OGDEN, UT MYELOMA SURVIVOR
Find a Coach to meet your specific needs.
All Coaches are survivors or caregivers who desire to share what they have learned and
guide you through your diagnosis and treatment.
You can find a coach who:
Has your type of disease
Had a similar treatment
Has personal areas of experience to match your needs
Lives in your geographic area
You are able to work with more than one Coach at a time and can connect by phone, computer
or in person.
Share your knowledge
Become a Coach and make a meaningful difference in the lives of other patients. No
experience is necessary. We ask a minimum of 8 hours a month and a commitment of one
year.
We will train you on the skills and knowledge you need to succeed. We provide training on
written and online resources. This training will include online videos, webinars, and
helpful tools that will be readily available, so it’s easy for you to find the right
answer to every question.
