Guest guest Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Hello All, Just a quick note to let you know that in spite of Toronto traffic and holding this talk on a work day the turn out was quite good! We were about 20 to 25 patients at one time. I will not share all of my notes until after Dr. Giles speaks in Montreal, but I will share this: Dr. Giles mentioned a cure and gave a definition - he and his fellow colleagues define the word cure as " eliminating the disease without on going drug therapy " . Does he think we will see this in our lifetime? Yes, he does, and probably sooner than later. He reminded us that there are many people, people we don't even know about who are working to find a cure. That was the most positive aspect of his talk! See you in Montreal! A big thank you for the patients and their carers who came forward to be part of the patient advisory board of the CML Society. The meeting in January will be quite exciting. Cheers, Cheryl-Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
