Myeloma patient guide

This guide provides answers to most of the things you want to know about myeloma: how it may affect you, what treatments you may have and how much or how little will change in what you are able to do.


Learning about it will help you to cope with all the feelings that come with a diagnosis. It may be a good idea not to read it all at once, but to come back to it at any time when you want to know about a particular aspect, or to refresh your memory.

AL amyloidosis patient guide

Approximately 10–15% of myeloma patients will develop amyloidosis, and around 30% of patients develop subclinical amyloid deposits, which means the disease is not clinically manifested. This guide provides answers to things you want to know about AL amyloidosis: how it may affect you, what treatments you may have and how much or how little will change your quality of life.
