We’re probably all felt like this. We need a break from cancer. We want to take a vacation. But we’re in treatment or have recently finished treatment — money is too tight for even a short vacation. Have you felt like this? Do you feel like this today?
There are answers for your need to have a break. The answer is, “What about a cancer camp or cancer retreat?”


Multiple myeloma  (MM) is one of the blood cancers. It is the second most common blood cancer, after  Non-Hodgkin lymphoma . Multiple myeloma affects the bone marrow — malignant plasma cells replace normal plasma cells.

All of us look forward to our treatments ending. We think that that we will have an uneventful return to normal life. But for some cancer patients, they suffer from pain after treatment as a late side-effect of their cancer treatment.

A study by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that 69 percent of cancer patients pray for their health.  A 2015 study of over 32,000 cancer patients  found that patients with a religious or spiritual belief system reported feeling better. The study was published in 2015 in  Cancer, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society .
