The TAKE 2 Campaign

Early diagnosis is vital for the more than 4,000 myeloma patients diagnosed every year in the UK. However, statistics show that over 40% of patients experience a significant delay before their myeloma is diagnosed.

Patients who are diagnosed late often experience an increase in symptoms and complications, greater anxiety and sometimes a decreased quality of life.

For these reasons, Myeloma UK launched the TAKE 2 Campaign during Myeloma Awareness Week (21 - 28 June) 2010. You can read a full summary of the Campaign here.

Although the TAKE 2 Campaign has now surpassed its original target of reaching 4,000 GPs in the UK with the Myeloma Diagnosis Pathway, Myeloma UK is still encouraging supporters to let their GPs know about the signs and symptoms of myeloma.
