Practicing with the Patient Voice: A Patient Decision Library: Wow! There is only one thing more informative and helpful than hearing 4 CLL patients describe the treatment decisions they faced and that is the addition of 2 outstanding young CLL experts (Drs. Anthony Mato and Matthew Davids) in their on-camera discussion of the challenges each step of the way for these 4 patients. The CLL Society is pleased to have partnered with Platform Q on their Cancer Coach Live virtual case library – 4 patient stories. Check it out! cllsociety.org/2020/10/canc...

Hello, Sushibruno! Thank you for your note. The patient stories with doctor commentaries are very revealing of decision-making processes, both for the patients and for the physicians. See if you can access them here: cllsociety.org/2020/10/canc...

Stay strong. We are all in this together. Patty/ CALL Society

Thank you very much Patty.. when u say revealing does that mean it's not for everyone to watch?

Hi, Sushibruno. These videos would be beneficial for many CLL patients to view. The amazing thing that is revealed in these interviews is the "inside look" at how both patients and their health care providers process their internal dialogue when considering treatment options. We know that both are carefully weighing the best information they have at hand, but we rarely hear them articulate their thought processes, as they do in these videos when they are zeroing in on the best treatment option. Hope this is helpful. All the best, Patty
