Today a total stranger thanked me at ASH 2016 for saving his 44 year cousin's life because he had found on our website an interview with Dr. Byrd on the importance of tailoring the particular CLL treatment to the genetic make up of the disease. The Test Before Treat principle saved this young woman's and is critical for all us because she was able to get the right therapy for he flavor of CLL. Please join me and ask questions Sunday, Dec. 4 at 10:30AM Pacific Time for my first Facebook Live from ASH about #CLL and genetic testing facebook.com/CLLsociety/

It made all the work worthwhile

Stay strong.

We are all in this together.
