Our support group of myeloma patients and caregivers meets the 3rd Saturday of every month from 10am – 1pm.  These meetings rotate among Stanford (Stfd), Oakland (Oak), San Francisco (SF) and Walnut Creek (WC). On occasion, you’ll see that we also have speakers talking about different myeloma subjects.

 

Watch for monthly meeting announcements for additional speakers and the remote possibility that a date or location may change. To ensure you receive these announcements, make sure you join.
