I thought the same re his glasses, chrigranny - especially in the second clip :-) But it was great to listen to someone who spoke so clearly and with such humanity and balance.

Thanks Nick, for getting it recorded and posted - and thanks to Dr Follows too of course.

A wonderfully clear presentation, and a natural born lecturer to fully explain our CLL.

Even the section on the new drugs was presented so that the unscientific can get an understanding of how they work.

These videos should be pinned for the newly diagnosed to watch, and recommended to GP’s …

The benefit of the internet is that the videos can be watched again and again, so that the patient can absorb the information at their own speed.

Thanks

Dick
