Thanks for making 'Do You Know Myeloma?’ a success


The IMF Thanks Myeloma Patients and Care Partners This Blood Cancer Awareness Month As Blood Cancer Awareness Month comes to a close, the IMF thanks you for your participation and support. This month, YOU connected 15 million times on social media with your photos, stories, and awareness efforts. Watch this video that captures the essence of your work this month.


The M-Power Project: Changing the Course of Myeloma in Black Communities The IMF M-Power Initiative is focused on changing the course of myeloma in Black communities. Myeloma is two times as common in people of African descent than it is in all other races and ethnicities. Empower yourself by joining our 1st virtual M-Power New York webinar on October 1st at 10:00 a.m. EST. Meet event panelists: Dr. Saad Usmani (Memorial Sloan Kettering—NYC, NY); IMF Nurse Leadership Board Member Amy E. Pierre, RN, MSN, ANP-BC; IMF Patient, President & CEO Yelak Biru; Patient and Care Partner Team Terrence and Toni Green; IMF Vice President of Support Groups and Care Partner Robin Tuohy; and IMF Chief Medical Officer Dr. Joseph Mikhael. Panelists will participate in real time and answer your questions.


Listen to 'A Day in the Life' Podcast with Myeloma Patient Andy Sninsky Diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2008, Andy Sninsky’s life may have been interrupted, but his purpose remains unchanged. Having undergone many treatment regimens and an autologous stem cell transplant, Andy’s disease is now in remission. So, Andy hopped back on his bicycle (an activity he did before his myeloma diagnosis) and decided to focus his rides on raising myeloma awareness. A truly remarkable patient, Andy has cycled in three continents. In this podcast, the IMF team caught up with Andy as he cycled in Canada and talked to him about why he rides.


Dr. Joseph Mikhael Featured in Blood Health and Life Sciences Magazine In the article, “Exciting Developments in Myeloma Therapies and Treatments,” IMF Chief Medical Officer Joseph Mikhael, MD, talks about new treatments available for multiple myeloma and how the disease disproportionately affects people of African descent. Dr. Mikhael says, "I have never seen a more exciting year than 2022 for the development of new ways to conquer this awful disease. There is still so much to do, but we genuinely believe we are seeing a cure on the horizon."
