Rebecca Bechhold, MD, discusses the joint role patients and doctors have in keeping the patient cancer free after treatment. I see this as equally relevant to CLL patients in Watch and Wait.

Thanks Dick and Neil for all those words of wisdom.

First scentance of 3rd para in Dick's words really makes me stop and think.

Its raining here, but my chance today to get outside.

P.S. Note you have to register for the Cancer Network but it only takes 5 mins (despite my tablet fat finger syndrome) - well worthwhile
