Dear Friends and Supporters of the CLL Society,
It turns out that it is not only the drugs you receive, but the order you receive them in that can effect the response rate. Please learn from the Dr. Koffman’s ASH 2018 interview with Professor Hillmen. Watch the interview.
Later this month we’ll be publishing the last 2018 issue of The CLL Society Tribune, our quarterly online newsletter. Watch your email for links to these unique articles by patients and CLL experts, answers to your questions to our medical advisory board, results from last quarter’s Reader Survey and a new Reader Survey about caregivers. ENJOY!
Please save the date:
We’re excited to be starting our first CLL Society Educational Forum on February 9 at City of Hope. Click here for more information and to register!
