Pat Killingsworth's Archive
Pat Killingsworth wrote a regular column for The Myeloma Beacon from April, 2010 to February, 2016. He was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in April, 2007 at the age of 51. He initially achieved a complete response to treatment with a combination of extensive radiation and continuous drug-based therapy. Four years after his diagnosis, Pat's disease returned, and he underwent a series of additional treatments, including a total of three autologous stem cell transplants at different times. Unfortunately, Pat passed away on his 60th birthday in February, 2016. By that time, however, Pat had made a significant impact on the lives of many patients and caregivers through his extensive writing and speaking about multiple myeloma. Pat's efforts were supported and made possible in many ways by his wife Pattie, who is also a cancer survivor, and is still cancer-free today.
