Michael Thompson, MD, PhD, at the Vince Lombardi  Cancer Clinic in Milwaukee, WI is board certified in hematology and oncology. He is an active clinical researcher whose interests include hematologic or blood cancers (lymphoma, myeloma, leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome).  When my web site myelomasurvival.com was started in 2012, one of the first patients who called to find a myeloma specialist was a 28 year old man, who had recently got married, had no insurance, and felt doomed.  I had called a number of doctors in Wisconsin to find out if they could help.  Up until that point this young man had no future, and found no help available.  I talked with Dr. Thompson and he championed this young families cause until he was covered for all cost associated with his care.  Dr. Thompson saved his life and the future with his family.  Mike is not only an excellent myeloma specialist, but an outstanding humanitarian.
