Multiple Myeloma Awareness Week 2008
October 20-26, 2008
|
|
|
Melanoma. Myeloma. To the general public, cancer is cancer. But to those of us for whom myeloma is a reality of life, awareness of this growing cancer is critical if we are to improve early diagnosis and provision of new treatment options—treatments that increase not only the percentage of patients responding well to treatment, but the length of their survival.

International Myeloma Foundation receives a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator, America's largest independent evaluator of charities, for the fourth consecutive year.
|
|
|
According to Charity Navigator, "This consistency in your rating is an exceptional feat, especially given the economic challenges many charities have had to face in the last year."
