Myeloma & Wellbeing: Exercise, Pain Relief, Fatigue, and Quality of Life for Patients & Families

Living with multiple myeloma means managing not only treatments, but also the emotional and physical effects of the disease. In this Patient & Family Seminar session, Michaela Hillengass, RN, ACSM-CPT from Roswell Park Cancer Center shares how exercise, strength training, and lifestyle choices can improve bone health, reduce fatigue, ease pain, and support mental wellbeing. She highlights real-world patient experiences, research trials, and practical exercises from chair stands and squats, to walking, balance training, and resistance bands, that help myeloma patients strengthen their bodies, boost endurance, and enhance immune function. The session also emphasizes the role of support networks, virtual exercise groups, and mental health care in improving quality of life for both patients and caregivers. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, living with smoldering myeloma, or navigating long-term care, this session offers safe, practical strategies to feel stronger, manage side effects, and stay engaged in daily life.
