by Dr. C.H. Weaver M.D. 8/2023

September has been designated “blood cancer awareness month” by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Multiple myeloma rarely produce signs or symptoms until they are very advanced. Myeloma is often discovered by doctors performing routine blood work for other reasons.

As the month of September brings blood cancers into focus, Cancer Connect is committed to increasing public understanding of these diseases and providing access to breaking treatment news and resources as well as dedicated social communities where individuals impacted by these conditions can share information, support and inspiration throughout the year.

CancerConnect was the first social network created for people with cancer.

CancerConnect is used by leading cancer centers like Dana Farber, Roswell Park and The James at Ohio State to support their patients. Join the conversation, ask questions, share your experience, and learn how the best cancer centers are treating myeloma from others.
