Riveting interviews with Dr. Jeff Sharman, Dr. Michael Choi, Dr. Jeffrey Menashe and a guest video with Dr. David Maloney regarding CAR-T cell therapy. patientpower.info/video/mak... You'll even see a short interview with several patients, including me, next there is another interview with another patient and me, questions and answers from the doctors and Andrew Schorr from Patient Power, who along with his wife Esther and daughter Ruthie (and a fabulous staff) does an amazing job behind the scenes as well as bringing us powerful information for self-advocating. patientpower.info/video/mak...

We have received our facilitator training from the CLL Society at UC Irvine and are in the process of securing a meeting place to begin our new support group in Portland.

Constant good wishes to all of you for a healthy day!
