Studies have shown that the more we take ownership of our condition, the more engaged we are in maintaining behaviors that help us live better. An important factor in having the confidence to take this ownership is self-trust.

"When I was first diagnosed, I kept my mouth shut even if my doctor said something incorrect or wrong for my body. I'm learning to trust those feelings - my intuition - and speak up."

Here are some conversations about trust on MyMyelomaTeam:

"With the unknown comes, the unknown. Every single thing that is different with my body, I wonder, “Is this a sign or symptom?” I’m placing my trust in the professionals now."

"I’m feeling like today is going to be a good day. I’m happy the sun is shining. It always amazes me how different each day feels."

"While fighting mm I am wondering all the time if I will be able to use my strength again to accomplish my goals and do things I did before. I am someone that looks far ahead in life."
