Our next monthly PMMNG meeting will be Saturday January 11, 2025 from 1:30-3:00 PM ET. This meeting with be conducted by Zoom.

This month's speaker is Teresa Miceli, RN BSN OCN, who is Assistant Professor of Nursing at Mayo Clinic. She will be speaking to us about the general topic of how to live the best life possible after getting a diagnosis of multiple myeloma. She will cover survivorship, illness prevention and health maintenance. 

Teresa Miceli is a registered and oncology-certified nurse at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN and has spent over 30 years providing care to people undergoing Blood and Marrow Transplantation (BMT). She is an Advisor for the International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) and an originating member of the IMF’s Nurse Leadership Board. Her passion for patient empowerment, education and helping people to navigate the health care system led her to develop the Myeloma Nurse Navigator role at Mayo Clinic in 2021. In 2023, she was appointed to the National Cancer Institute’s Myeloma Steering Committee as a patient advocate. Teresa is a recognized key opinion leader in the care of people living with multiple myeloma. She continues to provide patient support as facilitator for two support groups, one for people living with smoldering myeloma (Smolder Bolder) and one for active myeloma (Multiple Myeloma Sharing Sessions).

As usual, we will be opening the meeting at 1 pm if anyone would like to connect with our members on a more casual level. We will not have small break out groups this month, in order to give more time for the main program.

Please note -- as we always say, we are not physicians so please discuss any medical-related information you may get from this meeting with your own medical team.

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

We look forward to seeing you on Zoom!
