Multiple Myeloma Relapse and Mental Wellbeing

Experiencing a relapse in your multiple myeloma can be very stressful, and while you may have lived with multiple myeloma for some time, relapse and disease progression can be a devastating emotional blow.

Unpacking the psychological burden of a relapse in multiple myeloma are multiple myeloma patient Susan McDowell and her husband Steve, as well as Dr. Michael Vallis, a registered health psychologist who has spent over 35 years working in the public health system.

A psychosocial resource guide for patients is also available and includes self-reflection questions, links to psychosocial support available across Canada, as well as questions you can print out and bring to your health care team to ask about your psychosocial health and support.
