Hi Teresa...I go to UCSD for treatment but I recently went to Dr. Amitra Krishnan at City of Hope for a second opinion. She is a well regarded Myeloma specialist.

Hi Theresa, I go to City of Hope in Goodyear Az. It’s a wonderful community of gentle, loving, very professional doctors, care givers and volunteers. It’s becoming my second home. I have not been to any California locations but it’s probably the same.
I just joined a research trial/clinic for high-risk smoldering myeloma. It’s a cutting edge trial because smoldering myeloma is usually monitored with no treatment until it is full fledged myeloma. My high-risk qualified me. City of Hope is only 3 miles from me… great match.
May God lead you to make the right decision 🙏🏼 please keep me posted on your challenging journey. Love you💕
