Thank you!

Some of us older patients (both in length of time with CLL AND in years) still use the transcripts, medical dictionary, and various other props for wading through these most helpful presentations.

In fact the transcripts are most helpful as modulating computer audio is not always successful AND some of our most distinguished UK Drs. have brogues that are difficult to suss out. So many thanks for any transcripts to go along with video presentations.

Great post, thanks! I love this: “What does this mean for our patients? I think that the most important message that I give a patient who has been newly diagnosed with CLL is that the drugs are so good right now. The goal is to turn CLL into a chronic illness, no different than high blood pressure or diabetes. It does require ongoing management, monitoring for toxicities, surveillance and making sure that the disease is not progressing. I think the hope is that it doesn’t impact your longevity or your quality of life.”

Dr Lamanna is my doctor and she tells me that all the time. Of course, I need to hear it all the time!

[BobbyFour in reply to NaturalWaze]

Me too!

[NaturalWaze]

What does the “R/R” stand for? Is that returning CLL after treatment?

[lankisterguy Administrator Volunteer in reply to NaturalWaze]

R/R is a MedSpeak acronym for Relapsed/Refractory - meaning the disease / CLL has returned.

Refractory means it is resisting the drug and the disease is coming back during treatment.

Relapsed means the disease came back after stopping the drug. -
