CLL Society Virtual Events
Friday, October 15, 2021 at 11:00 AM PT, 12:00 PM MT, 1:00 PM CT, 2:00 PM ET
Join us for CLL Society’s Ed Forum: The Right Tests at the Right Time to learn the basics about testing across the span of your CLL journey. Dr. Ryan Jacobs will discuss at the time of diagnosis, which tests should be performed, which might be avoided, and why. Dr. Brian Hill will discuss before starting your first treatment, and prior to every subsequent treatment, know which tests you absolutely must have, which we strongly advise through CLL Society’s Test Before Treat™ campaign. Two patients will share their stories about the importance of getting the right tests completed prior to choosing treatment. Finally, learn how CLL is monitored over time, and how the evolving role of MRD (measurable residual disease) testing may help determine when to stop therapy in CLL. Learn more and register here.

Applebaum to learn about the amount of time that caregivers dedicate to this role, the different types of stress and burden experienced by caregivers, and how to address these issues.
