On April 14th, 2022 the NorthEast Myeloma Crowd Community Chapter joined together to share advice on how to live with myeloma without defining yourself by it. Regardless of whether you are a patient or caregiver, newly diagnosed, in remission, or relapsed, myeloma can be overwhelming and it's easy to feel like it has control of your life.
Ours was an uplifting, realistic, heartfelt conversation with excellent advice shared. We wanted to share this advice with the rest of the myeloma community as everyone can benefit from this shared knowledge.
We have separated the advice into two sections, quality of life and myeloma education/treatment tips so that you can explore what can be most helpful to you in this stage of the journey.
We hope that you can take 1-to 2 pieces of the aforementioned advice to find more peace in your myeloma journey and not let the disease define you or your loved ones.
