Eric Wolf: 949-636-4769

We meet 1st Monday of each month (except September) from 6:30 - 8:30 PM Pacific Time. Please contact our support group leaders for meeting information.

The meetings begin promptly at 6:30 pm, but we encourage everyone to arrive as early at 6:00 for informal socializing. Bringing your own snack or meal is allowed. Our usual format is a round-table open discussion. Sometimes we have a speaker, and sometimes the structure is different in other ways.

What Is Multiple Myeloma?

Multiple myeloma is a cancer of the bone marrow plasma cells. It is synonymous with "myeloma" and "plasma cell myeloma." Plasma cells make antibodies against infectious agents such as viruses and bacteria. A cancerous or malignant plasma cell is called a myeloma cell. Myeloma is called “multiple” because there are frequently multiple patches or areas in bone marrow where it grows.
