Our MissionThe Purpose Of The Toronto & District Multiple Myeloma Support Group is to explore and discuss the wide range of treatment options and to give myeloma survivors and their loved ones the support and information they need to live longer, stronger lives.
What is Multiple myelomaThis is a cancer of the bone marrow. More specifically, it is an uncontrolled growth of plasma cells. Although there is no known cure, there are many approaches to help myeloma patients live better and longer. There remains much controversy about how to treat the disease. The course of treatment is very much dependent on the specifics of the patients physical, emotional and family situations and the variant of myeloma involved.
