After restocking the Myeloma Mobile (thanks Paul, Macky and IMF staff) we are now heading from Los Angeles out to Scottsdale, Arizona. We drove out yesterday - and it was a long - and windy trip (my knuckles may be permanently white! LOL). Sylvia Baca, IMF employee extraordinaire, took great care of our pets while we were busy in LA - Thanks Sylvia!!
We are looking forward to seeing familiar faces and friends in Arizona and hopefully reaching out to newly diagnosed patients. If you are a newly dx myeloma patient in the Phoenix area, please come to the event on Monday! If you are a long time survivor - please come as well to share your story and hope! For details, please go to www.myelomamobile.myeloma.org and click on Mayo in Scottsdale for more information. We look forward to seeing you!
For those of you who may be newly diagnosed, there is a fantastic myeloma support group that meets every month in Phoenix! Thanks to Brenda Gregory for her leadership and care!
