us02web.zoom.us/webinar/reg...
The overall aim of this webinar is to support CLL patients to be better able to live well with active monitoring also known as ‘watch and wait’.
The majority of people diagnosed with CLL will have to live with active monitoring before they are treated, one third of those diagnosed may never need to be treated. Living with the uncertainties, challenges and opportunities active monitoring presents for patients can require a lot of support. This webinar and panel of experts seeks to explore many of your questions, such as:
• What is active monitoring?
• Why are the majority of CLL patients not treated straight away?
• Should you “watch and wait”?
• What do you need to know to help manage living on active monitoring?
• Where can I learn about my diagnosis?
• Who should be available to support me?
• What else can I do to support my health (e.g. vaccinations)?
• Are there any techniques to cope with active monitoring?
• Who should I tell that I am on active monitoring? How do I do this?
• What support can I get from charities?
Audience: Those affected by a diagnosis of CLL, patients, family and friends.
