Hi,
It was great to meet with Aussie Neil and many other CLL advocates in Amsterdam for EHA where I lectured to an overflow room on CAR-T and also as part of a panel on MRD in a satellite event.
In Europe, advocates are much more involved with professional organizations and government payers compared to the USA.
There is an advocacy track at EHA and that is where I spoke, but there were many hematologists in the room as well as other advocates, patients, payers, and industry.
Some surprisingly good results were presented and will report on them soon with some interesting interviews. The field is moving so fast that trials set up a few years ago are answering questions that may no longer be relevant. I will post more on my musing on this soon- still trying to catch up on my interviews from ASH.
Time is a jet plane, and sometimes I feel like one too
Stay strong
