Diagnosed with Waldenstrom’s Macroglobulinaemia?

WMUK’s guide is a practical, reassuring guide from WMUK for people who have recently been diagnosed with WM, as well as their family and friends. It explains the basics clearly and compassionately, covering what WM is, common symptoms and related conditions, active monitoring, treatment options, the healthcare professionals involved in your care, and ways to live well physically and emotionally after diagnosis. The booklet also includes an Active Monitoring checklist, space to record key healthcare contacts, a plain-English glossary of WM terms, and signposting to further support from WMUK, including peer support and a nurse-led Support Line. Written with input from healthcare professionals and people living with WM, it is designed to help readers feel informed, supported and less alone.
