When a parent is diagnosed with myeloma, children often have questions that are difficult to answer. Understanding Multiple Myeloma is a comic book designed for children aged 7–12 that explains myeloma in a way that’s easy to understand.
Follow Tessa, a young girl from Melbourne, as she learns about her dad’s diagnosis with the help of the Medikidz — a team of superhero characters who explain how myeloma affects the body, what treatments look like, and how kids can help at home.
The book covers what myeloma is, why it causes symptoms like tiredness and bone pain, how doctors treat it, and reassures children that their parent’s diagnosis is nobody’s fault.
