ASH Abstract: Decision Making by Patients with CLL

Hi,

I am so excited.

If you haven’t already, please check out our ASH abstract, https://ash.confex.com/ash/2016/webprogram/Paper94576.html 

If you notice the little stethoscope by the title of our abstract, that denotes our abstract that is clinically relevant. We are pretty thrilled about our abstract being accepted.

It was very competitive with several good CLL papers rejected.

It is most unusual for an abstract by a patient or non hematologist to get accepted to the therapy sessions, Those are the sessions where there is the most action and traffic.

Most importantly, we believe what we found in our little survey will make a difference in how patients are treated going forward. And we  have plans for a much bigger survey next year if we can marshall the resources.

Thanks to all of you who participated. Together, we are moving the needle.

Stay strong.

We are all in this together.

Brian
