Ya, I want to get my dad out either Toronto or London myeloma support group meetings; no luck so far.

My wife won't go and I understand why, so I go. I'm not the only caregiver going without the patient. It's very useful for me and what I pass on to her.

Little Monkey,

Next meeting is tomorrow, featuring Dr. Christine Chen from Princess Margaret discussing updates in new treatments and research. She's my wife's doctor and is terrific. It'll be a great presentation. If you and your dad happen to attend please reach out to me; I'm the guy that'll be talking about the Walk at Princess Margaret as well as an upcoming webcast.

Thanks for the invite, SKI1. I don't think my dad is ready to attend support group meetings at this time.
