Tips for you and your loved one
Whether you're navigating treatment yourself or supporting a loved one through their journey, self-care matters. Below, you'll find tips for maintaining your well-being—and looking after your own health as a caregiver.
Small steps can make a big difference in how you feel, emotionally and mentally.
Living with multiple myeloma can bring a lot of emotions—worry, frustration, hope, and everything in between. It’s okay if you don’t feel “strong” all the time; what matters is finding small, doable ways to take care of yourself. These simple ideas are designed to help you feel more grounded, supported, and seen in your everyday life.

Create a tiny daily ritual just for you.
Set aside 5–10 minutes a day for something that feels calming or meaningful—listening to a favorite song, stepping outside for a bit of fresh air, journaling a few thoughts, or enjoying a quiet cup of tea without distractions.
Lean on your circle of support—and be specific about what you need.
Many people care about you and want to help. Be clear about what would truly help on any given day—whether that’s someone to listen, help with appointments, make a meal, or just share their company. If you’re looking to build your support network, online forums and patient communities are great places to connect. You don’t have to do this alone.
Celebrate small wins, not just big milestones.
Notice and acknowledge the little victories: getting out of bed on a rough morning, making it to an appointment, or doing something you enjoy. Writing these down can remind you that progress and strength show up in many different ways.
You’re doing something important. You deserve care and understanding, too.
Supporting someone with multiple myeloma can be deeply meaningful—and also exhausting at times. It’s normal to feel pulled in many directions and to wonder if you’re doing enough. Remember that taking care of yourself is not selfish; it’s one of the best ways you can stay present and steady for the person you love.

Ask for specific help—don’t do it all alone.
When friends or family say, “Let me know if you need anything,” give them something concrete: a meal on treatment days, a ride, help with childcare, or just checking in with a text. Small, shared tasks can lighten your load in a big way.
Protect a little time that’s just yours.
Schedule short breaks for things that recharge you—a walk, a favorite show, reading, or simply quiet time—and treat them as real appointments, not “optional extras.” Even 10–15 uninterrupted minutes can help you reset.
Acknowledge your feelings without judgment.
It’s okay to feel tired, frustrated, or overwhelmed and still be a loving, dedicated caregiver. Find someone you trust—a friend, support group, or counselor—who you can tell how you really feel and be reminded that you’re doing your best.
