Myeloma Montreal is a local support network created in 2004 by and for multiple myeloma patients, caregivers, family and friends who want to share information and learn more about living with myeloma.
Our Mission
Our goal is to provide a caring environment where group members can share, offer and receive advice, support, information and educational material to learn about the latest advances in myeloma research and treatments.
Help us help you!
Meetings are free and open to everyone. Members who wish to get involved can also help by volunteering, contacting other members, help in planning information sessions by suggesting topics and speakers or by bringing pamphlets and educational material to local hospitals and clinics.
Events
Hybrid meetings (alternating face-to-face and virtual meetings). Face-to-face meetings will resume in 2024. Please write to [email protected] to express your interest in a face-to-face meeting.
In most group meetings, an invited professional addresses specific aspects of treatments and/or care options followed by a question and answer period in both English and French. In other meetings attendees are invited to share their experiences and knowledge in a friendly and caring environment. Meetings are free and open to the public. We encourage you to inform other myeloma patients of this support that is available to them.
In-person meetings, generally bilingual according to attendance, are held next to the Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital at: Maison Jacques-Cantin, 5151 l’Assomption blvd., Montreal QC H1T 4A9. Meetings are announced on its Facebook Page but can also be confirmed by email at [email protected].
