Dr Martha Q Lacy for Woman of the Year

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) combats all blood cancers, including myeloma, supporting research as well as the patients themselves.  Every year the LLS holds a Woman (and Man) Of The Year competition, to raise funds and to honor the nominees.  Dr Lacy is a nominee this year.

Martha Q Lacy, M.D.

Dr Lacy has been my doctor for the last seven of my 12 years with myeloma.  She introduced me to a trial of Pomalyst, the drug that has kept me up and literally running for all of those seven years.  More importantly, she is the Chair of the Division of Hematology at Mayo Clinic, a Professor of Medicine, a frequent speaker at conferences of the American Society of Hematology, and doctor for hundreds of other myeloma patients.  She's the real deal.

Recommended reading:  Here is a copy of a letter that we received from her a few days ago: lacyletter.html.

If you would like to honor Dr Lacy in the LLS competition, and help all of us blood cancer patients to boot, please go to her secure fundraising web page.

Thank you!
