Myeloma Matters Podcast | Balancing Life With Myeloma

In this episode, we discuss supportive care, which encompasses the management of both treatment side effects and complications of multiple myeloma rather than the disease itself. We’ll hear from a patient living with myeloma and a social worker working in oncology as they discuss their experiences with supportive care and what you can do to improve your quality of life.

Topics of discussion:

· (4:54) Supportive care and quality of life
· (7:26) Role of a social worker
· (9:06) Fatigue
· (13:31) Pain
· (19:44) Peripheral neuropathy
· (21:56) Mental health distress
