About Multiple Myeloma
Multiple myeloma starts in the bone marrow plasma cells. It weakens the immune system and can affect many parts of the body by causing the bone marrow to create dysfunctional antibodies and plasma cells. Living with or treating this disease means making complicated decisions, and this requires searching for reliable, current information on multiple myeloma.
How Can the International Myeloma Foundation Help?
The International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) connects people to what matters most — research that pushes the field forward, education that clarifies complex topics, support tailored to individual needs, and advocacy that amplifies every voice. Patients, care partners, healthcare professionals, and researchers can access the knowledge, resources, and community they need from the IMF to navigate life with myeloma.
