Why Physicians Are Optimistic about Newly Diagnosed Myeloma

Webinar

Feb 18, 2021 / 11:00AM - 12:00PM MST

Event Description

Fear, uncertainty, and pessimism accompany virtually every cancer diagnosis, especially if most patients, like those with myeloma, have never even heard the word before. Yet myeloma specialists are increasingly confident and optimistic that the vast majority of diagnosed patients have legitimate paths toward longevity, good quality of life, and will benefit from increasing treatment options and experience. Join us as we review the Myeloma Crowd Round Table featuring Multiple Myeloma Specialists. After we review the MCRT, Dr. Sarah Lee will serve as our moderator for a Q&A. Come with questions! This is a Google Meet Meeting. You can join even if you don't have a Gmail Account. If you are joining via mobile, please make sure you have the Google Meet App downloaded.
