At 50 years old, Peter Cole was diagnosed with a precursor condition to #MultipleMyeloma, called Monoclonal Gammopathy of Unknown Significance. He was referred to our team at the Mount Sinai Multiple Myeloma Center of Excellence.
He has enjoyed a full remission due to success with a relatively new medication, Daratumumab. "I feel quite strong," Peter says. “I log in 60 to 80 miles a week on my bicycle during the season, swim regularly and continue full time with my architectural design practice.”
“I am extraordinarily grateful to my Mount Sinai team. Dr. Cho is clearly extremely knowledgeable about Multiple Myeloma, but as important, he is warm and compassionate and his good sense of humor helps lighten the load. I also want to recognize the highly skilled and empathic Mount Sinai team, including a nutritionist and physical therapist, who have been a valued source of support during a challenging time in my life. They have provided a depth of expertise, facilities and resources that have been invaluable to me.”

Janice Benjamin was at the gym, powering through her normal workout when her cardiologist called with bad news. Janice needed open-heart surgery due to a faulty mitral valve. She turned to Mount Sinai's Dr. David H. Adams for her surgery.
The surgery went well, as Dr. Adams and his team were able to repair her mitral valve completely, correcting the severe regurgitation that had been causing her symptoms and affecting her heart’s ability to pump. Two months after the surgery, Jan was already walking four miles per day, had completed her cardiac therapy, and had resumed light workouts.
“They did a fantastic job,” she said, praising the entire surgical team. “It was minimally invasive, and my friends all call my scar ‘cute’ because it’s so small.” Read her full #PatientStory: https://fal.cn/3b7YV #PatientStory

Dr. Mary Fowkes, a neuropathologist, joined us on the Real, Smart People Podcast last year. Early in the pandemic, when little was known about the SARS-CoV-2 virus, Dr. Fowkes volunteered to perform autopsies on #COVID19 victims. Wearing a full-body protective suit and often working alone, she painstakingly examined the impact of the virus on the brain. What she and her team found shocked her—significant blood clots in the brain and vital organs. The discovery led to the increased use of blood thinners in COVID-19 patients.
