Program

Please join us as our local physicians and other healthcare professionals discuss the treatment options and emerging therapies for leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma as well as several important survivorship topics.

In addition to gaining a better understanding of these main types of blood cancers, participants will hear about their available treatments and the newest breakthroughs in research. They will also learn vital information about the management of various survivorship issues as well as the local and national support resources available through The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society with ample time to ask questions related to personal experiences. 

We encourage you to invite your caregiver and family members.
