Me, Myself & My Multiple Myeloma is a cancer-patient memoir written by Ray Hartjen, a multiple myeloma patient diagnosed in March 2019.

In this intimate and inspiring account, Ray reflects on every step of his relentless battle with cancer, from working toward a final diagnosis, through an initial induction treatment and an autologous stem cell transplant, and on to maintenance and continuing active treatment. Through it all, Ray shares personal insights into his fight, tending to his systemic physical, mental, emotional and spiritual needs.

Fighting cancer or any serious health issue, particularly a chronic condition, can be a daunting quest. Me, Myself & My Multiple Myeloma shows the importance of being mission-forward. Mission, of course, is unique to each individual, and based on values, roles, and the accountabilities associated with each that matter most.

Written for cancer patients, their caregivers, and their friends and family, Me, Myself & My Multiple Myeloma is a personal story of proactive accountability, stubborn perseverance, evolving perceptions, growing maturity, and, ultimately, hope.

Ray Hartjen, a native of Texas, holds an undergraduate degree from Eastern Kentucky University and an MBA from the University of Washington. Throughout his professional career spanning five decades, Ray has pivoted on many occasions, from investment banking to pharmaceuticals, from consumer electronics to SaaS software. However, one constant throughout his career and life has been his deep passion for storytelling. Ray has often been sought out for his insights by the national media, particularly concerning the consumer electronics and retail industries. He has also contributed to several online outlets and platforms, including his personal website, where he shares his views on a wide range of topics — primarily football, hockey and auto racing — and business, particularly revenue team functions like sales and marketing. Additionally, Ray is the co-author of the book Immaculate: How the Steelers Saved Pittsburgh. In March 2019, Ray was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, leading him to channel his resilience into fighting against the disease every day. With the soundtrack of life playing continuously in his head, Ray finds catharsis performing and recording with his two-piece acoustic band, the Chronic Padres. He resides in Pleasanton, California, where he and his wife, Lori, raised their two adult children, Olivia and Raymond.
