Patient Education is Key
The Myeloma Program at Huntsman Cancer Institute offers patient education classes every Thursday from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. These classes are designed to cover a broad range of issues related to myeloma and the treatment of this type of cancer. Topics covered include an explanation of an autologous stem cell transplant.
We believe it is crucial that the patient and caregiver be informed. We try to present rather complicated material in a manner that can be understood. Patients and caregivers can come to the classes as many times as needed, since it can be difficult to absorb everything in just one class. Participants typically come to the classes prior to beginning treatment so they can know more about what to expect.
To register for the class, patients can call their clinic coordinator or our new patient coordinator, Debbie Coleman.
During the classes, various health care professionals will speak to participants about their area of expertise. Presenters include a:
- Nutritionist
- Financial Counselor
- Social Worker
- Nurse
- Pharmacist
The classes take place in the Counter Point Room (Room 6250) on the sixth floor of Huntsman Cancer Institute’s Research Building (not the Hospital Building). Please note that Huntsman Cancer Institute is made up of two buildings, the Hospital Building and the Research Building.
