Patients, caregivers and friends share their
knowledge and experiences on treatments, coping with side effects,
medical insurance, participation in clinical trials, new scientific and
clinical research and provide mutual support and encouragement.
We also invite experts to join us and share
their knowledge.
Our mission is to be an ongoing resource for
information, support, shared experiences and hope for persons with
multiple myeloma, their family and friends.
Multiple myeloma is a cancer of the cells in
the bone marrow that affects production of red cells, white cells and
stem cells. More specifically, it is an uncontrolled growth of plasma
cells which attack and destroy bone. It is the 2nd largest of the blood
cancers affecting an estimated 750,000 people worldwide; in
industrialized countries it is growing in number and affecting
increasingly younger people. Although there is no known cure, multiple
myeloma is treatable and outcomes are constantly improving.
