We invite you to attend our CLL Society Webinars

Monday, July 22, 2019, at 10:00 AM PDT / 1:00 PM EDT

A Psychological Perspective: Dealing with the CLL Emotional Roller Coaster

Anxiety, anger, fatigue, and depression, are just some of the emotions/symptoms we may experience after diagnosis. Join us to talk about what CLL patients may face and how to manage the emotional roller coaster. Register here.

If you missed the CLL Society Webinar, “Money Matters: Help is There to Prevent Financial Toxicity,” you can find the webinar recording, presentation slides, and answered audience questions linked here for this important topic.

New this week!

It may not be enough to just target the cancer, we might need to target where it lives. Dr. Yucai Wang looks at these issues in CLL and Richter’s Transformation.

The Transcend 004 trial offers a CAR-T living drug very similar to what Brian Koffman received. Learn more.

Tired? You are not alone. See Dr. Koffman’s latest blog post.

The CLL Society wants YOU!

It is without a doubt that your unique skills will perfectly fit our needs! We are looking for volunteers just like you to help the CLL Society continue its mission for meeting the many needs of the CLL community. Sign up today!

Expert Access Is Open!

Expert Access, our free online second opinion program is now open. If you live in the USA and want a second look at your CLL from a world expert, you are welcome to apply here. Even if you have used the program before, may reapply if you need new clinical advice.
