July 1 - Rocky Mountain Cancer Center

Today we visited the Rocky Mountain Cancer Center in Denver, Colorado. We had a fantastic turnout and great speakers!

Jeffrey Matous, MD, specializes in the treatment of blood cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma, as well as in the field of blood & marrow transplantation. He is a wonderful, down to earth kind of doc that the folks in Denver are fortunate to have!

Thanks Dr. Matous for all your care and information!

Diane & Jarvis Seccombe have been IMF supporters for many years and have always wanted to get an active support group going in Denver. I am incredibly pleased to announce that during our visit, while we were speaking of the importance of support groups and asked if there was anyone that would like to assist Diane & Jarvis; Nancy Thompson raised her hand to volunteer!!! THANK YOU, DIANE & JARVIS AND NANCY for your outreach to patients in Denver! The IMF is happy to assist you in starting and maintaining your myeloma specific support group and will be sending you a supply of all of our publications to help get you started.

I would like to take this opportunity to ask all myeloma patients, caregivers, family members and friends to be on the lookout for information regarding this new group and to attend their meetings. We all know that patients who attend support groups do better! Plus they are educational and fun too! Stay tuned for more information as to when and where this new group will meet.

We also had TV coverage of this Event! News 2 Colorado: KWGN-TV / DT Denver: CW2.com (Frank Rockwell, Photojournalist, News Colorado) was at the Event and interviewed our family and stayed to cover the story!
