We are WM experts

WMUK is the only charity in the UK dedicated to supporting people with Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinaemia (WM) and their families. We are the trusted voice of the WM community, providing expert-led, information and resources.

As the go-to source for WM clinicians, we work closely with the NHS and are leading the way in gathering data about the condition to improve understanding and treatment.

Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinaemia (WM) is rare type of blood cancer. It affects just 4,000 people in the UK. WM belongs to a group of cancers known as ‘Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas.’ There is no cure for WM at the moment, but there are many effective treatments that can help relieve symptoms and to stop it from developing.
