vacation roadtrip

Just a reminder that there will be no monthly PMMNG meeting in August. We'll be taking our annual "vacation."

We'll be back for our September meeting on September 19, 2026. Note that that is the third Saturday of the month, not our usual second Saturday. More details to come. We hope to see you then.

In the meantime, enjoy the rest of your summer!

The Philadelphia Multiple Myeloma Networking Group (PMMNG) will hold its next regular monthly meeting on Saturday, July 11, 2026 from 1:30-3:00pm ET via Zoom. Shelby Robinson from Fox Chase Cancer Center will speak about eating a healthy diet and the use of supplements.

Shelby Robinson, MA RD CSO LDN is an Oncology Nutrition Care Coordinator at Fox Chase Cancer Center at Temple University Hospital.

While the main part of the meeting will start at 1:30, we will open Zoom for the meeting at 1:00 for anyone who wants to come on early to talk informally about issues you may have or anything else that might be going on..

PMMNG members are not physicians, so please consult with your own medical team about any information regarding diagnosis, prognosis, and/or treatment that you get from the meeting.

Because this meeting will be held via Zoom, you don't need to be in the Philadelphia area to attend. We welcome all multiple myeloma patients and their caregivers, wherever you may be! 

All PMMNG members will receive a meeting invitation via email.  If you are new to the group, contact Barbara Falkowitz (b[email protected]) to receive the meeting link. 

Looking forward to seeing you on Zoom Saturday July 11!

Note: The Zoom recording of the meeting is here. The passcode is: #ZN4RJ9=
