Cephas (M.A.\, MT-BC) is a board-certified music therapist who is passionate about journeying with people in music to enhance quality of life and promote healing\, coping skills\, and overall well-being. She is trained in methods such as improvisation\, songwriting\, and music-assisted relaxation\, and is committed to honoring each individual’s unique relationship to music. \nAnna has worked as a music interventionist for a pain management research study for individuals with cancer\, where she was trained with a unique protocol helping individuals manage physical and emotional symptoms using music-based strategies. Anna graduated Drexel University in 2020 and has been working in hospice and bereavement settings for the past 5 years.

SUMMARY:Education & Discussion: Understanding Extramedullary WM
DESCRIPTION:Upcoming Educational Session & Community Discussion\nUnderstanding Extramedullary WM: A Rare Complication of a Rare Lymphoma\nWe are pleased to announce a vital educational program dedicated to one of the more complex aspects of the WM journey: Extramedullary Disease. While WM primarily resides in the bone marrow\, EMD occurs when WM cells form tumors in other organs or tissues outside the marrow. Because this complication is rare even within the WM community\, specialized education is essential for effective advocacy and care. \nWhat to Expect: \n\n\nExpert Presentation: Professor Shirley D’Sa\, Clinical Lead for the UCLH Centre for WM and Related Conditions\, shares her world-class expertise on identifying the signs of EMD and the unique challenges it presents. \n\n\nDeep Dive into Treatment: Learn about the current therapeutic landscape\, including which treatments are most effective at targeting disease outside the bone marrow. \n\n\nInteractive Community Discussion: Following a pre-recorded presentation\, seasoned patient advocates Pete DeNardis (IWMF Chair Emeritus) and Eileen Sullivan (IWMF Board Trustee) will moderate a live discussion to answer your questions and share community perspectives.
