Thanks to research, many changes have happened in the treatment of myeloma. This conference will offer you the opportunity to learn the newest information available. Learn, share and get the answers to your questions!

The keynote luncheon speaker is Douglas Emerson, whose advocacy actions on behalf of his father, inspired our campaign for Velcade funding. Today Velcade is an important treatment option in our myeloma ‘treatment toolbox’. You will find his message both interesting and inspiring.
