The whole experience is like a whirlwind of activities that start early in the morning and continue on until late in the evening. It is information overload between listening to [...]

Tom Swick: Wrapping Up ASH 2014 with IMWG at Jillian’s Billiards

posts, Tom Swick | December 15, 2014
By Tom Swick Orange County, CA @IMFtommyeloma I’m not sure what I expected from the semi-annual meeting of the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG), but I’m sure I didn’t expect it to be held in the bar room of a pool hall! But that is exactly what happened at Jillian’s Billiards during the 56th American [...]

posts, Teresa Miceli | December 12, 2014
By Teresa Miceli Rochester, MN @IMFnursemyeloma As I return from the 56th Annual American Society of Hematology (ASH) meeting, I reflect on another amazing experience. The hope, the inspiration, the knowledge– and this is just from the support group leaders (SGL). I am impressed with the depth of knowledge the “non-medical” SGLs have– not only [...]

Jim Omel, posts | December 11, 2014

Jack Aiello, posts | December 9, 2014
By Jack Aiello San Francisco/Greater Bay Area, CA @JackMAiello [email protected] Here’s my preliminary summary of the 56th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting, and I emphasize “preliminary” because I’ll be learning more about the interpretation of ASH 2014 results as I listen to follow-up presentations by MM expert oncologists over the next 1-2 months.
