Upcoming Events
This teleconference will focus on early disease management including criteria for diagnosis and best treatment options. Patients are increasingly diagnosed early and must be certain if decisive first therapy is appropriate or of observation is recommended. With the introduction of new therapies, there are many options to be reviewed and considered for patients in each risk group and with assessment for age and comorbidities. Current best treatment guidelines will be presented.
The 2019 Miles for Myeloma 5K Run/Walk is a regional, family friendly 5K Run/Walk presented by the Philadelphia Multiple Myeloma Networking Group. The USA Track & Field/RRTC Certified 5K course boasts beautiful views of the historic Please Touch Museum and the Horticultural Center’s Japanese Gardens along with accessible and free parking! Proceeds from the event will benefit the most promising research initiatives as well as patient support programs of the International Myeloma Foundation.
In this seminar, you will learn about the latest treatments and management of myeloma. You'll have the opportunity to interact with other patients and family members who may have experienced what you're experiencing now. Also, these seminars are a great time to visit old friends, meet new friends and share valuable first-hand knowledge and real-life experiences.
I plan to ride my bicycle across the continental United States on the Mother of all Roads - Route 66, from the Santa Monica Pier in California to Chicago Illinois, and then on Route 6 from Chicago to Provincetown, MA.

I am doing this hike to raise money for the international Myeloma Foundation (IMF). My nephew, Timothy Gavallas, has multiple myeloma, and the foundation has given him spiritual support and a network of friends that have helped he and his family face their battle with myeloma.
In 2000, our mother, Carolyn Czerkies, passed away from complications brought on by multiple myeloma.
