Myeloma (also called multiple myeloma) is a cancer of the plasma cells, which are a type of white blood cell found in bone marrow. It is the second most common blood cancer in Australia.
Currently there is no cure for myeloma, but it is treatable. Many people live well with the disease for years thanks to advances in treatment. Research into new therapies is ongoing, which is why funding matters.
More than 2,600 Australians are diagnosed with myeloma each year, and approximately 22,000 are living with the disease at any given time.
Myeloma Australia supports patients, carers, and families through education, community, and advocacy - and funds research aimed at improving treatment outcomes and quality of life for people living with myeloma.
Your donation directly supports patient resources, research funding, specialist nurse programs, and community support for people and families affected by myeloma across Australia.
