Our MissionOur mission is to be an ongoing resource for information, support, shared experiences and hope for persons with multiple myeloma, their family and friends. Multiple MyelomaMultiple myeloma is a cancer of the cells in the bone marrow that affects production of red cells, white cells and stem cells. More specifically, it is an uncontrolled growth of plasma cells which attack and destroy bone. It is the 2 nd largest of the blood cancers affecting an estimated 750,000 people worldwide; in industrialized countries it is growing in number and affecting increasingly younger people. Although there is no known cure, multiple myeloma is treatable and outcomes are constantly improving. Join us as we strive to create hope and share experiences and information with myeloma patients, caregivers, family and friends through education, support and our personal experiences. Our monthly meetingsWe meet on most third Tuesdays of the month from 6:00 – 8:00 PM. Patients, caregivers and friends share their knowledge and experiences on treatments, coping with side effects, medical insurance, participation in clinical trials, new scientific and clinical research and provide mutual support and encouragement. We also invite experts to join us and share their knowledge. Call, email or mail to get on our email/phone list so you can receive the meeting announcements.
