ASH Conference Update Seminar

On Saturday, December 13, 2008, The Minneapolis Myeloma Support Group will hold a seminar on the results of the annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH), which will be held just a few days earlier, December 4-9. We will get a hot-off-the-press update by a hematologist who attended this key conference. A few of the talks already scheduled for the conference are:

• High-risk myeloma;
• Stem-cell imaging;
• Hematology and aging;
• Deep-vein thrombosis; and
• Many, many more.

In addition, Helen Healy, ND, will speak on the role of naturopathy in treatment of cancer. Dr. Healy is an experienced, graduate naturopathic doctor with a specialty in oncology, and an energizing lecturer as well.

Further, tentatively, a speaker will be invited to talk about medical insurance prescription coverage.

Details are not all settled yet, but the meeting is currently planned to start at 9:00 am, ending at 12:00 noon, at the Hotel Sofitel, 5601 West 78th St., Bloomington, MN, at the junction of Hwy 100 and I-494. Take Hwy 100 to Industrial Blvd, then immediately south on the service road which is on the west side of 100.    MAP

Stay tuned. This is an important event - please do put December 13 on your calendar and plan to come.
