It is a great pleasure to welcome you to the IWMF website, a place where you can find a variety of ways to network with other patients and where you will gain valuable information about our disease, Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia, or “WM” as it is commonly called.
WM is a rare lymphoma and information about the disease and treatment therapies is not easy to find. A major goal of the Foundation’s mission is to serve as a resource in providing you with the best and most current information available through IWMF educational materials and through links to other helpful scientific resources.
Patients and caregivers will not only find support groups for connecting with others facing similar challenges, but also the opportunity to communicate with each other through our online IWMF-Talk discussion list. We sponsor the annual IWMF Educational Forum where patients can meet top WM experts to hear the most recent research results and treatment therapies, and also meet with each other and benefit from learning of other patients' experiences with the disease. Additionally, the IWMF is committed to promoting and supporting research leading to a cure.
Our goal is to help every patient successfully face the challenges of living with WM. We hope you will read through the information on this website and that you will find it user-friendly and useful. The IWMF website will be updated frequently and we hope that you will visit often.
