Are we really all in this together?

Friends

What does a CLL patient and advocate have in common with a diabetes or HIV or RA or psoriasis advocate? Turns out the answer is plenty.

I am just back from a summit of online health advocates and I sure learned a lot from other disease communities.

Please take a look at one of my more old school style blog post at bkoffman.blogspot.com. Been so busy with the nonprofit and seeing patients, the blog has suffered.

Thanks and be well

Brian

Thanks Brian, for that insightful overview into why communities such as this one can thrive in comparison to those for acute illnesses.  I hope many more take the time to read your blog and reflect on the opportunities provided from having a chronic health condition.
