The motion

That this House recognises that 16 to 22 June is Myeloma Awareness Week; is concerned that myeloma has one of the longest times to diagnosis of any cancer; welcomes the Know the Warning Signs campaign from Myeloma UK which aims to raise awareness of the most common symptoms of myeloma including fatigue, back pain, and recurring infections; further welcomes the symptom translator that Myeloma UK has released to help aid conversations between GPs and patients, as describing the vague symptoms can be tricky; and calls on hon. Members to download Myeloma UK's symptom translator and take it to their local GPs to help GPs diagnose myeloma sooner.
