Myeloma UK

Description:

Myeloma UK is the only organisation in the United Kingdom dealing exclusively with myeloma.  They also provide information and support to people affected by other related diseases, understanding the complexities, and the impact living with a diagnosis of myeloma can have on patients, families and carers.

Myeloma is an incurable blood cancer originating in the bone marrow.  It is a complex cancer which can make it difficult to recognise and diagnose.  Living with a diagnosis of myeloma can place a huge physical and emotional strain on the people it affects.

Patients come first in everything Myeloma UK do.  Their determination to support patients underpins their goals:

• to empower patients and their families;
• to inform and influence policy;
• to educate healthcare professionals; and
• to improve treatment and care.

Their work doesn’t stop there as alongside their network of dedicated research partners they are breaking new ground towards their goal of finding a cure for Myeloma.
