Learning from and about cancer (chronic lymphocytic leukemia or CLL) by Dr. Brian Koffman: World Lymphoma Awareness Day

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.

World Lymphoma Awareness Day

Website The Basics Living Well with CLL Clinical Trials FAQ News About

Friends,

Today is World Lymphoma Awareness Day!

The CLL Society motto is Smart Patients Get Smart Care™.

If you have lymphoma, insist that you are told what subtype you have.

If you have CLL/SLL, a very heterogeneous subtype of lymphoma, know whether you have an indolent slow growing type, or an aggressive fast progressing type.

The vision of the CLL Society is to act to help shape a smarter, brighter future for those with CLL and related B cell blood cancers by encouraging and supporting smart patients, smart providers, smart healthcare delivery systems, and smart therapies.

If you are able to help the CLL Society to continue to educate your fellow patients so they can get the best possible care, consider making a donation here.

We appreciate your support

Stay strong.

We are all in this together

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.
