How has your myeloma diagnosis impacted your relationship with others? 

Dr. Urvi Shah, a research team at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC), wants to learn about myeloma patients' experiences telling (or not telling) friends, family, coworkers, and others about their diagnosis and medical issues. 

This is a way that you can contribute to accelerated myeloma research to help physicians better understand the whole picture of a myeloma diagnosis. A patient's mental well-being affects their ability to improve physically. 

There is not one right or wrong answer when it comes to telling people about your myeloma diagnosis. In addition, different people will have varying reactions and responses to you telling them about your disease, often in unpredictable ways.

about the author
Jay Hydren, PhD, CSCS

I’m a clinical researcher, with over 14 years of experience investigating various aspects of human health, nutrition and physiology. My PhD encompassed the broad topics of nutrition and integrative physiology with particular focus on age related diseases and vascular health. My most recent work focuses on accelerating a cure and treatments for Multiple Myeloma. I’m also working to improve patient experiences and decision-making processes for cancer treatment and care. To complement these critical research efforts, I enjoy hiking and skiing in Utah and surrounding states, along with training my dog and digital photography.
