Mye Myeloma Matters: A focus on you, not just your disease.
Seminars recorded on Monday 17th and Thursday 20th March
March is International Myeloma Month, in Australia during the month we aim to raise awareness of myeloma and provide access to experts in the field through online seminars and local ‘My Greatest Walk’ community events.
The 2025 live interactive seminar series took place over 2 days during the 3rd week of March, with a theme encompassing targeted treatment and individualised supportive care. Mye Myeloma Matters: a focus on you, not just your disease.
For information about a My Greatest Walk event in your state please see our events calendar. To review an overview of myeloma and its treatments before these events, please see the 2024 National Myeloma Update seminar.
