I warned that our website's pages would be busy through the end of the year.

I tried to synthesize the vaccine guidelines referenced here and elsewhere in this review: cllsociety.org/2019/10/vacc...

Dr. Awan wrote for us on the recent news about Ibrutinib's effect on cardiovascular health: cllsociety.org/2019/10/card...

The one and only Dr. Kanti Rai talks both the elusive cure in CLL: cllsociety.org/2019/10/e-r-...

And Dr. Paolo Ghia discusses harmonization lab tests (cllsociety.org/2019/10/eric... and ERIC 1st meeting ( cllsociety.org/2019/10/eric...

Too busy.

Stay strong, we are all in this together

The BP numbers are high's but it's manageable. Others are more serious but less common.

I always enjoyed my visits with Dr Rai

While it was disappointing to here him say treatment at this time would make my situation worse I know it was absolutely the best advise backed with a lifetime of wisdom

Dr. Rai has a well earned reputation for taking good care of his patients.
