In this week’s episode of CURE Talks Cancer, we spoke with Ethan Hawes about his experience as a 22-year-old diagnosed with multiple myeloma, and his advice for others going through a similar journey.

Ethan Hawes was a college student, studying abroad in Spain. Having returned home to the states after running the Madrid Marathon, Ethan thought he was experiencing lingering leg and hip pain from training, but in reality, it was actually something much different: a multiple myeloma diagnosis.

In this week’s episode of CURE Talks Cancer, we spoke with Ethan about his experience as a 22-year-old diagnosed with a rare cancer, and his advice for others going through a similar journey.
