Merseyside Against Blood Cancers

Week 3 of #MinuteforMyeloma 💜 This week, trustee Michaela shares why awareness truly matters Myeloma symptoms can often be mistaken for everyday issues, meaning too many people are diagnosed late. The more we talk about it, the more lives we can help change #MyelomaAwareness
