Two Year Anniversary of the CLLSociety.org Website Celebrating with Our 7th Newsletter

This issue of The CLL Tribune (http://www.cllsociety.org/newsletter/) is our 7th quarterly newsletter and I am proud to say it marks two years since the CLL Society has had a web presence. We have only grown because of your support. Thank you.This issue includes our Basic section where I do the math on how much CLL we have in our blood. In Beyond the Basics, Dr. Pagel discusses the rapidly changing role of transplant in CLL. From ASH 2016, in Conference Coverage, Dr. Seymour discusses promising new BTK inhibitors. I hope you enjoy my Did You Know fun CLL facts and please don't skip our Ask & Tell section where you can read the results of last issue's Reader Poll or Ask the Doctor section featuring Dr. Furman. The Living Well with CLL section has five amazing and inspiring articles all written by patients: CLL Life Lessons by Jennifer Woolf; A Sentence of Life! By Derek Caine; Me and my Leukemia, BFFs Forever by Nancy O'Brien Simpson; n of 1 Chapter 28 by Glenn Sabin with my brief intro; and a book review of n of 1 Book by Rick Conner.We can learn so much from each other. We are so grateful to all our contributors and for your readership and support that in two short years has made us the go-to site for patient-friendly education, support and research. And please, if you have a story to tell or a lesson to share, we need you to write for us. Reach out to us at support@CLLSociety.org. If you want a personal response, or just want to stay in touch, please email me at bkoffmanMD@gmail.com. I have no other way of contacting. Thanks. Stay strong. After all, we are all in this together. And please visit our website: http://cllsociety.org for the latest news and information.
