Toronto & District Multiple Myeloma Support Group

support groups logo

The Toronto & District Multiple Myeloma Support Group is comprised of myeloma patients, their caregivers, families, and friends.  It grew out of a need for information and support in dealing with this rare cancer. Our group welcomes patients and their spouses, caregivers, loved ones, significant others, family members and friends to join us as we share support, comfort, information and friendship in a relaxed, informal and confidential environment.
We publish a newsletter every second month which provides information on meetings, usually a transcript of the last meeting, a description of developments in the myeloma community, and a description of myeloma related events in the Toronto area.
