Hello to all.
I've found this site a valuable resource over the last couple of days. I'm holding my breath waiting on confirmation of a multiple myeloma diagnosis for my beautiful, amazing 62-year-old mother.
We live in Chicago and I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for myeloma specialists in the area. We have considered Seema Singhal and Jayesh Mehta (both at Northwestern) and Dr. Tricot in Iowa City.

Re: Multiple myeloma specialist in Chicagoland area?
Dr. Andrzej Jakubowiak at the University of Chicago is probably the myeloma specialist in Chicago who is the most active in current myeloma-related research, including clinical trials. Dr. Singhal and Dr. Mehta are also very active, and may be just as active.
If you consider Iowa City to be "Chicagoland", then you'll also want to consider Dr. Parameswaran Hari at the Medical College of Wisconsin, Dr. David Roodman at the University of Indiana in Indianapolis, and Dr. Ravi Vij at Washington University in St. Louis. Dr. Vij is very involved with current research related to existing and possible new myeloma therapies, and Dr. Hari seems more willing than many myeloma specialists to consider allo transplantation as an option for newly diagnosed myeloma patients.
Of course, there's also Mayo Rochester, which probably has more myeloma specialists at a single center than any other place in the world. Not surprisingly, you'll also find as many, or more, clinical trial options there than just about anywhere else.
I would also suggest checking out the Beacon's list of multiple myeloma treatment centers, which is organized by state.
