Hi,

I am so excited.

If you haven’t already, please check out our ASH abstract,. ash.confex.com/ash/2016/web...

If you notice the little stethoscope by the title of our abstract, that denotes our abstract that is clinically relevant. We are pretty thrilled about our abstract being accepted.

It was very competitive with several good CLL papers rejected.

We believe what we found in our survey will make a difference in how patients are treated going forward. And we have plans for a much bigger survey next year if we can marshall the resources.

Thanks to all of you who participated. Together, we are moving the needle.

Preparing the 6' x 4' poster is one of the projects eating up my time and keeping me off the forums.

Stay strong.

We are all in this together.

Brian

Congratulations...great information! CLL is complicated and those of us with it are fortunate for resources like you have created. In addition, the research being done & dedication exhibited by the likes of and including my brilliant oncologist, Dr. Furman, gives me confidence and hope. Thanks!

Thanks. This is just the beginning. We are going to leverage this to change the way CLL is treated everywhere for the better.
