Dear friends,

This week's new post on the CLL Society's website brings us practical advice from Dr. Neil Kay out of the Mayo clinic on prognostic indicators and how to manage early stage CLL (chronic lymphocytic leukemia).

He also discusses MBL or monoclonal B cell lymphocytosis, a precursor to CLL.

Dr. Kay's lecture and my commentary from the robust, but accessible, CLL Research Consortium (CRC) Patient Empowerment and Education Conference in April 2015 in San Diego at UCSD can be found under conference coverage here: cllsociety.org/2015/07/crc-...

If you haven't already seen Dr. Kipps' incredible overview of CLL and the work that the CRC does, please catch it here: cllsociety.org/2015/07/crc-...

We encourage you to please sign up to receive alerts regarding new postings and for our quarterly newsletters (the first one will be published in September) and to share with patients, caregivers, concerned family or anyone whose life is touched by CLL.

Thanks

Stay strong

We are all in this together.

Thank you so much for your prompt reply. Can I just say, as a newly diagnosed CLLer, how very much I appreciate your input into this site. The help and support the people here have given me in the last few very frightening weeks has been a life saver. Thank you again. Best wishes. Peggy.
