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.

ASH 2016: Which Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) Become Resistant to Ibrutinib

This week I'm posting the final installment of my 3-part interview with Dr. Adrian Wiestner from the NIH where we discussed which CLL patients are more likely to relapse when being treated with ibrutinib and the options that are available if that happens. You can read my summary, and watch the interview here: cllsociety.org/2017/06/cll-...

TOMORROW, the 2nd 2017 issue of The CLL Tribune will be published. Watch your email and set aside some time to read the fantastic articles in this issue, written by both patients and CLL experts. Very cool

Stay strong.

We are all in this together.

Brian
