Financial Assistance

Why is it so hard for people with myeloma to get financial help? All other organizations seems to contribute to other types of cancer, but I found that myeloma is the hardest to get help. They only want to help pay for your medications but nothing more. Am I the only one who notices that? I've been on every site and they mostly contribute to breast cancer or Lymphoma, which is also associated with blood cancer but different I guess.

It can indeed feel frustrating to find financial assistance for myeloma, as many programs focus on more common cancers. However, there are resources specifically for myeloma. Organizations like the Patient Advocate Foundation, HealthWell Foundation, and pharmaceutical assistance programs (e.g., for Revlimid or Darzalex) can help with medication costs. For broader support, nonprofits like the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and the Cancer Financial Assistance Coalition may assist with other expenses. Don't hesitate to ask your health care team or a social worker for guidance.
