Myeloma Canada is a non-profit organization created by, and for, people living with multiple myeloma.

One of the challenges facing the myeloma patient community is the general lack of awareness of this relatively rare cancer. Consequently, many patients are not well-informed about the resources that are available to them and often feel alone in their battle. To address this concern, Myeloma Canada, a non-profit entity with charitable organization status, was created in 2005 by and for people livin

g with multiple myeloma to:

- Provide educational resources and emotional support to patients, families and caregivers
- Increase awareness of the disease and its effects on the lives of patients and families
- Promote clinical research and access to new drug trials in Canada and
- Facilitate access to new therapies, treatment options and health care resources

As a patient-driven, patient-focused organization, Myeloma Canada works with over a dozen local support groups across Canada, strengthening the voice of the Canadian myeloma community and improving the quality of life of myeloma patients, their caregivers and families. Myeloma Canada is the only national organization that is uniquely devoted to the Canadian myeloma community. Our affiliation with the International Myeloma Foundation (IMF), the world’s oldest and largest myeloma patient organization, enables access to a global network of expertise and resources.

Myeloma Canada's Advocacy Handbook has just been updated!
Developed by Myeloma Canada's National Advocacy Committee, the newly updated Handbook is designed to make advocacy accessible to anyone affected by myeloma, whether you have never thought of yourself as an advocate or you are already making your voice heard.

The updated edition includes an expanded section on understanding Canada's health systems, updated tools and strategies for advocating at any level, and a real example of an advocacy letter that successfully secured a meeting with decision-makers.

Advocacy can be as simple as asking a question. This Handbook will help you get started.
