The micro-environment and more

Hi,

I just posted my ASH interview with Dr. Wang on the micro-environment in CLL: cllsociety.org/2019/07/ash-...

Turns out targeting it is both important and not easy to hit

I also have a new blog post about being tired and a link to a CAR-T trial with JCAR 017, quite similar to my treatment just put up new on the website

.

Stay strong.

We are all in this together.

That was a good interview Doc. Pembrolizumab was in a few clinical trials I was looking at. Probably not now. I learned a lot.

Interesting! Are they going to do further trials specifically to target Richter’s?

That's where much research is heading.

That’s reassuring, especially being a little on the young side.

Not what you're looking for?
