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.

CLL (Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia) Patient Education and Empowerment Meeting April 23, 2015

CLL Patient Education and Empowerment Meeting April 23, 2015

San Diego, CA

Yes, I will be there as one of the speakers at CLL Patient Education and Empowerment Meeting.

But the real draw will be a chance to hear from all the patient friendly experts from around the world.

The CLL Society Inc. will also be there and a few hundred fellow CLL patients and caregivers.

The link to register is here.

It is the same weekend as the CLLPAG meeting in Niagara Falls, Canada which will also be a super meeting, so no matter where we live we have no excuse to not become more of an expert in our own disease.

With the fast changing understanding about how to treat CLL, we all need to be aware of the very latest options, hopefully predigested for us by the cutting edge experts.

I wish I could be in two places at the same time, but I am very excited about the CRC patient meeting at UCSD.

The CLL Society will be staying on to record the news and the latest research from the scientific consortium gathering that follows immediately after the patient meeting.

Seating is very limited, so please sign up soon.

I've now changed my flights so I can come to San Diego on the day I arrive in LA first then fly overnight to Toronto and make the sessions I want to at Niagara Falls on the Friday. Not sure when I'm intending to sleep but at least I'll be informed! I'm also hoping to get an apt with Dr Kipps while I'm there so wish me luck with that! Only in North America for 6 days but, having just relapsed from FCR, this next step is crucial and I want to make sure I'm on the best trial possible. I like the look of ABT-199 truth be told and there are a few options for that here in Melbourne for me. Look forward to meeting you in the flesh!
Best wishes
