It's Official! Curing Patients Is Bad for Business! Milton Packer describes the end result of profit-dominated drug development
Sobering reading from Milton Packer in Medscape Today [i]"Pharmaceutical companies are developing new drugs in only two therapeutic areas these days -- cancer and rare diseases. Why?

Monoclonal B Cell Lymphocytosis
Seeking some input on starting with MBL and then becoming CLL. Recent blood tests led to a diagnosis of MBL, and my count was 4,800. The Hematologist said a person isnt CLL until the count reaches 5,000. I also know that only 1 to 2 percent of MBL patients reach CLL per year, which is pretty low, but

CLL confused
Hi everyone, I need some help. My husband who is now 82 was diagnosed 8 yrs ago and has been on watch and wait. He now needs chemo and will be offered chlorambucil within the next 2 weeks. We have been given all the paperwork and it is a bit frightening. He is worried about side effects given his age

A friend of mine has just been diagnosed with Essential Thrombocythemia a blood cancer, (or pre cancer). Does anyone know how, if at all, this relates to CLL or other blood cell mutation diseases? and what and when treatment is appropriate, beyond the usual W & W period.

I am confused on what we can post on this site.
I feel bad for all people with Cll Leukemia. I sometimes posted things that were natural should we just never post anything like that.
