Connect with others navigating myeloma

A myeloma diagnosis can cause feelings of overwhelm and uncertainty. Knowing what to expect and how to find support can make a significant difference in your quality of life. Sharing insights and experience with blood cancer leads to a deeper understanding of the patient experience, improved treatments, earlier diagnoses, and a better understanding of how the disease affects different people.
