#ASH25 is a whirlwind, but nothing beats seeing how much joy our annual meeting brings to the #hematology community (30K strong!).

We stand for science and the breakthroughs shared here head to the bedside tomorrow.

Some highlights below:

👇Maurice’s story is an inspiration to me personally and a triumph of science and research in fighting myeloma

It keeps me grounded on our mission to advance curative treatments for myeloma & other cancers

We must continue to #Fight4Hematology #mmsm

If you’re 40+:
👆Don’t wait—schedule your screening mammogram.
👆Do a self-exam every month on your birthday.
👆Remember: ~80% of suspicious findings are benign, but you only know if you get checked.

Talk to your doctor, get screened, and remind a friend to do the same.

[Andrea Fischer @AndreaPFischer]

PSA: I got the best kind of “nothing” today - my biopsy was NEGATIVE. 🎉 I finally scheduled the mammogram my OBGYN ordered when I turned 40, and it found a mass I would have felt if I’d been doing monthly self-exams.

NIH funding powers discoveries that improve outcomes for patients with blood disorders. ASH calls on Congress to act before the January 30 deadline and secure robust funding for NIH in the FY26 Labor-HHS bill. https://t.co/1blQl4VvWf

We were not able to hike the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim as we had originally planned for this trip - but made do with a few ☀️ miles. @GrandCanyonNPS

[Andrea Fischer @AndreaPFischer]

Checking a few national parks off the list this holiday break - @BryceCanyonNPS and @ZionNPS were extraordinary.

@MikkaelSekeres @utpress @SylvesterCancer @UMiamiHealth @ASH_hematology @JCO_ASCO I can’t wait to read it!

Happy Holidays!
This year brought many adventures: Andrea and her mom traveled to New Zealand to visit her brother Byron and his partner Laura, Andrea completed her master’s in health communication from Boston University, and together we explored the San Francisco Bay area.

[Andrea Fischer @AndreaPFischer]

We logged plenty of miles hiking the trails in Shenandoah. Up next: we’re planning to explore the Grand Canyon at the end of December. 
Amid a year filled with joy & challenging moments for many, we’re grateful for the bright spots and for the people who make them meaningful.

[ASH @ASH_hematology]

The gavel has officially passed at #ASH25. Thank you, Dr. Avalos, for your outstanding leadership. And welcome to Dr. Robert Negrin, whose dedication to mentorship, discovery, and advancing hematology will continue to strengthen the field.

Huge thanks to all who make this meeting happen. Exhausted but grateful that our community shows up every year and inspires us.
