This year during March Action Month we will work together, take accountability, and increase the visibility of myeloma. The IMF challenges YOU to put yourself on the top of that “to-do list” and join us in this wellness challenge. 

Join the challenge by visiting https://mam.myeloma.org/support-group-challenge/

Covid Update

The IMF applauds the efforts of the volunteer leaders that conduct local and virtual myeloma support group meetings.  We are cautiously optimistic for local support groups to return back to in-person or hybrid meetings (combination of in-person and virtual).

Each group will decide the meeting format that works best for their members: to remain virtual, or to meet in person, hybrid or alternating hybrid.  Please contact group leader below for details.

What Is Multiple Myeloma?
Multiple myeloma is a cancer of the bone marrow plasma cells. It is synonymous with "myeloma" and "plasma cell myeloma." Plasma cells make antibodies against infectious agents such as viruses and bacteria. A cancerous or malignant plasma cell is called a myeloma cell. Myeloma is called “multiple” because there are frequently multiple patches or areas in bone marrow where it grows.

Charlie’s Story

Charlie and I were married in April 1971.  The interesting thing about Charlie is that he has never been sick….and when I say that I mean, all these years, rarely a sniffle, cold, or flu.  Even when our children were small, I was always the one who got sick with germs they brought home from school.  We used to joke about his being so healthy.
