Final day of #MinuteForMyeloma 💙

Too many people are still diagnosed late.

Too many lives are still affected.

That’s why awareness and research must continue.

#MyelomaAwarenessMonth may be over, but this isn’t the end.

Week 3 of #MinuteforMyeloma 💜

This week, trustee Michaela shares why awareness truly matters

Myeloma symptoms can often be mistaken for everyday issues, meaning too many people are diagnosed late. The more we talk about it, the more lives we can help change

Week 2 of our #MinuteforMyeloma series focuses on symptoms

Myeloma can be difficult to spot as many of the signs can look like everyday health problems.

If something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts & speak to your GP.
