We’re here to help
Having multiple myeloma is not easy and requires skills and direction. We're a team of myeloma patient and caregiver volunteers here to help you navigate your myeloma with a compass not a map. We can help guide you to find and use the best myeloma resources so that you can better navigate your myeloma care.
Coaches can provide guidance in finding a myeloma specialist, learning about financial aid or using online and digital resources that can help you live longer and better with multiple myeloma.
“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

Find a Myeloma Coach
Find a Myeloma Coach to meet your specific needs.
You can find a Coach who:
- Has your type of disease (MGUS, smoldering myeloma, or multiple myeloma)
- Who may have had a similar treatment (such as stem cell transplant)
- Has personal areas of experience to help you (mental/emotional health, physical health, nutrition & exercise, how to become your best advocate, or help with HealthTree).
- 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.
All coaches are myeloma survivors or caregivers who desire to share what they have learned to help others going through myeloma diagnosis and treatment.
Become a Myeloma Coach
Become a Myeloma Coach and make a meaningful difference in the lives of other myeloma patients. No experience is necessary. We ask a minimum of 8 hours a month and 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/tools that are available to multiple myeloma patients.
