The Veterans with Myeloma Special Interest Group

A veteran is someone who has served in the armed forces and has dedicated their life to protecting and serving their country. Veterans come from diverse backgrounds and have often experienced the stresses of military service, including exposure to various physical and emotional challenges. For veterans with multiple myeloma, their journey includes not only the battle with cancer but also navigating the specific hurdles that come with their military service, such as dealing with service-related health issues, finding resources for support, and navigating the VA healthcare system. The veteran community is a resilient and supportive one, where shared experiences and camaraderie offer comfort and understanding in times of need. The Veterans with Myeloma Special Interest Group is here to support each other in navigating these challenges, specifically challenges that a local support group may not be able to address.
