Today marks the fourth anniversary of Myeloma For Life, and we are deeply grateful to everyone who has contributed to our journey so far. Your support, dedication, and unwavering commitment have been the cornerstones of our success.
It all began four years ago, when I received the life-altering diagnosis of multiple myeloma. I searched for information, hope, and solace in those uncertain moments and faced limited resources. The uncertainty of my prognosis loomed large, with doctors mentioning a narrow window of 3 to 5 years unless I chose to undergo a stem cell transplant.

Today, Myeloma For Life takes a moment to reflect on how far it has come. From a place of fear and uncertainty, It has become a beacon of support and empowerment for those navigating similar journeys. The road ahead is still long, but with your continued support and collaboration, I am determined to make a difference and work towards shared goals.
My journey with myeloma has been a challenging one, but I have found immense strength and resilience throughout. The SCT transplant brought me a much-needed reprieve, giving me hope for the future. Despite the struggles I faced during my recovery, I never gave up and have continued to fight against the pain and uncertainties that come with my condition.

As I delved into journaling to help others navigate their myeloma diagnoses, I discovered a newfound sense of therapeutic relief through sharing my experiences. I am dedicated to spreading accurate information and support to fellow patients, and this has led me to take on the role of a Myeloma Coach, offering guidance and encouragement to those in need.
