In fact, I felt the need to start one myself.<br /><br />Our first meeting had about 40 people. We couldn't stop talking to other CLL patients. <br /><br />Our second meeting dropped to about 25. Each successive meeting had fewer and fewer attendees. <br /><br />Sadly, some of our group passed away. Others got sicker and stopped coming. Others just drifted away.<br /><br />One meeting saw me and one other person. Obviously, it is pointless to have meetings with one or two people.<br /><br />I hope you have better luck. You probably will, being a doctor and all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
