Hi,

Last week we proudly published the latest issue of The CLL Tribune (cllsociety.org/newsletter/). We're so grateful to the patients and physicians who share their experiences and expertise to enrich our CLL Society community.

If you would like to share your story, or have ideas for future articles, please reach out to us.

I would like to highlight the content from The CLL Tribune and offer caregivers the opportunity to provide feedback in our Reader Poll. You can access the survey here: q22017.questionpro.com.

Please enjoy the articles and interviews from the Q2 2017 issue of The CLL Tribune: cllsociety.org/newsletter/

•In Beyond the Basics, learn more about navigating in the global clinical trials website, clinicaltrials.gov.

•In Ask & Tell, we're looking to learn more about the caregiver experience and how the CLL Society can better help them in their role supporting the CLL patient.

Please encourage your caregiver to take a few minutes to share with us how we might better support them.
