Multiple myeloma has one ask this March: know the name. Ted Nolan didn't know it until his blood work came back and a doctor told him he needed a stem cell transplant within weeks. He was 67. He was 95 per cent contaminated. He had no idea.

When the diagnosis came through, Pat LaFontaine called his old coach. His message was simple: coach yourself the way you coached us. One shift at a time. One period at a time. Ted Nolan had handed that advice to players for decades. Turns out it works just as well from a hospital bed as it does behind a bench.

Myeloma Canada is marking March with red lights coast to coast, from the legislature in Victoria to Niagara Falls. Visit myeloma.ca, learn the symptoms, and ask your doctor. Take the blood test. Go back if something is not getting better. Ted Nolan is off his medication, walking every day, and still coaching. It started with Sandra saying go back one more time.
