My Myeloma - Ready for the Steps Ahead

My Myeloma - Ready for the Steps Ahead is a documentary that captures the journey of multiple myeloma patients from the Central European and Baltics region. It was filmed in partnership with multiple myeloma patient organisations from Hungary, Croatia, Slovakia, Serbia and Slovenia. It is a heartfelt tribute to the patients, patient organisations and healthcare professionals who have battled tirelessly against this disease.
