Myeloma organisations

The websites on cancer listed on this page are valuable sources of detailed information on cancer. They may use more technical terms, longer pages and fewer images than CancerHelp UK. 

You can find details about general cancer support organisations on our general cancer organisations page. We have information about counselling organisations in the counselling section.

We are also committed to producing high quality information for people affected by cancer, health professionals and the general public. We do this through our website, which includes patient information and news and resources, and through our range of health awareness leaflets.

If you have a question about cancer, and you are in the UK or Ireland, you can contact our team of specialist cancer information nurses using this form or by telephoning freephone 0808 800 40 40.
