New Support Group for Blood Cancers

We are planning a new family education and support group that will be held monthly from July through December. The group will be for adult patients, family and friends coping with leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, MDS and other blood cancers.

Meetings will be held on the second Tuesday of each month, from 5:30-7:00 p.m. at the Hope Cancer Resources office. Click here for address and map.

The first meeting will feature a myeloma survivor who serves as a patient ambassador sharing their inspiring story of coping with cancer. Dr. Eric Schaefer from Highlands Oncology Group will also be present to offer his thoughts.
