Event Description

Dealing with myeloma and its treatments can cause other areas of patients and caregivers' health to take the back seat. In this session, we will talk about ways to care for your whole self, prevent injury, and prioritize wellness.

Board certified oncology social worker, Christina Bach, and advanced practice nurse Carolyn Vachani, both local to the NorthEast region, will join us to discuss this important topic.
