Becoming knowledgeable about WM, treatment options and coping mechanisms are key for your wellbeing as a patient with a rare cancer.
The WMFC annually holds an Educational Forum (Ed Forum) held in major cities across Canada to help patients and caregivers learn about this disease from well renowned WM researchers, clinicians and doctors. Presentations include symptoms and complications of the disease, current treatment options, other patients sharing how they cope with the disease, new therapies and recent research findings that may someday lead to a cure.
