Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) and the Arizona Myeloma Network (AzMN) invite you to join us for a FREE Multiple Myeloma Patient and Cancer Caregiver Summit that will provide multiple myeloma patients, their families and caregivers, with the most up-to-date information on myeloma management from doctors and other experts in the field. Our faculty will provide relevant and timely information on:
• Diagnosis, prognosis, and risk
• Initial therapy
• Treating relapsed/refractory myeloma
• Immunotherapy
• Supportive care
• AzMN’s New Virtual Cancer Caregivers Education Program (VCCEP™)
Follow along with the presentations and submit your questions directly to the faculty. There will be time for Q&A throughout the program. Also, hear from a patient speaker and caregiver about [his/her] myeloma journey.
For your convenience, we are offering two ways to participate: in person at the Embassy Suites in Scottsdale, Arizona (free parking available) or virtually, from the comfort of your own home!
