"My Myeloma Story with the Elephant on My Back"

Since starting our love affair in 1996, my wife Stephanie and I have shared a passion for travel and adventure.  In 2017, having been married for 18 years, we visited Shanghai, Thailand, Laos and Cambodia.  The adventures in each venue could fill many pages, but those stories are for another day.

Julie was diagnosed with high-risk multiple myeloma in October, 2020. She was asked by The Patient Story website to tell her story. Her story is so compelling that we asked her to let us link to it.

As the shortest of short summaries, she has undergone 4 lines of treatment in less than 3 years, which includes 2 clinical trials.
