Michael Tuohy

Michael Tuohy was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2000 when he was 36 years old. With two young children (ages 2 and 7) the focus was always on finding the best treatment options, and beating myeloma. He had an autologous stem cell transplant in 2002, and is currently on Revlimid® His approach over the years has been to become empowered by learning as much as he could to have productive conversations with his doctors, and to then share his experience with others to help them along their own journey. He and his wife Robin started the first myeloma support group in Connecticut in the Spring of 2001 with the help of the IMF, which is known as the Connecticut Multiple Myeloma Fighters Information Group.
