Why we should support multiple myelome

Dr. Richard LeBlanc, holder of the Myeloma Canada Chair in Multiple Myeloma at the University of Montreal at Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital (HMR), and his team count on our support to advance research and improve the care of patients who suffer of this terrible cancer. These people living with multiple myeloma and their loved ones come from all over Quebec and even beyond to seek treatment at the HMR and cannot afford a break.

“In the current context, your support is more vital than ever,” says Dr. LeBlanc. “My team and I need you to continue fighting this cancer. People living with multiple myeloma are very vulnerable. They need our support more than ever. Thank you for showing solidarity with people who suffer from multiple myeloma! "
