The role of information

Information plays a critical role in helping patients and their families come to terms with a diagnosis and to help them understand their options around treatment and care.  

For information to be effective, it needs to be made available in the right format, at the right time and forum and from the right person. You can get information from your hospital doctor or nurse, your GP or from Myeloma UK.

Give some thought to the type of information you need and how much of it you think you want. Myeloma UK has a comprehensive range of information to support you to make informed decisions. Our Myeloma library contains a series of Infosheets and Infoguides on treatments and care for myeloma patients, their families and carers.
