What are Multiple Myeloma Support Options?

Often, a myeloma diagnosis can leave both the patient and their loved ones feeling overwhelmed. Myeloma is rarely, if ever, expected, and the abundance of doctor visits, medications, financial costs, and other needs can leave people in the myeloma community feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, scared, and alone. 

Our purpose at the HealthTree Foundation for Multiple Myeloma is to help with those feelings of overwhelm, frustration, and loneliness. We work hard to create support options for you to navigate myeloma education, financial support, finding a specialist that fits your needs, understanding your medications and their side effects, and much more. 

Below I have listed some of the support options that we offer at the HealthTree Foundation that can help you along your myeloma journey, no matter if you or your loved one received the diagnosis yesterday or over a decade ago. 

All of our programs and apps are completely free and will never require a payment. These are for your benefit! 

You can also call or text our Patient Support team using the number +1 800 709 1113, or you can email support@healthtree.org if you are looking for specific support.
