The emotional needs of the newly diagnosed CLL patient are massively neglected particularly in the UK (not sure if the US do better) so this is a very important subject.

Yes, I was given a booklet about CLL by the Haematologist and then went home to tell my husband the diagnosis.🙁

I can't connect to this one either--this is the second from Patient Power that i can't access--I have an aging Mac, so may be my need to update.

If your Mac is running Snow Leopard or older there are no updates for new video drivers etc.

You might want to consider an iPad... I have had Macs since 1984 but now far prefer the iPad...
