Learning from and about cancer (chronic lymphocytic leukemia or CLL) by Dr. Brian Koffman: Jet Lag

Learning from and about cancer (chronic lymphocytic leukemia or CLL) by Dr. Brian Koffman

What started as a personal journey of a doctor turned patient morphed into a way to share what’s universal in dealing with cancer, in my case a nasty leukemia (CLL), a failed transplant and a successful clinical trial. The telling of my journey has become a journey to teach about CLL, related blood issues and all cancers. Please visit our new website http://cllsociety.org for the latest news and information.

Jet Lag

The CLL-Patient Advocacy Group (CLL-PAG) meeting in Niagara Falls was a busy, emotional,and informative three days.

I am still recovering from the stress of travel, but I will review the content and the texture of the meeting soon, including my performance as the comic leukemic.

If you wonder why the last post was so much longer than this one, that's because it was written on the long plane flights home.

About Me

Name: Brian Koffman

Location: Claremont, CA, United States

BkoffmanMD@gmail.com A family doc and husband of 1 and father of 4 and grandfather of 3 who loves his family and his work. I live with no TV and no microwave, but wouldn't last a minute without friends, art, music, books and the beach. Hockey, good jokes and exotic travel are pretty important too. Writing, Talmud and Zen give meaning to my life. My diet is organic vegan, often raw. I hope the blog makes the load lighter and the path both safer and more fun for those who read it or are going to similar places. I want to help. I crave your comments. If you are new to the blog, check out the portrait my son Will painted (it is the first post), and my very first text post.
