"I am grateful for the opportunity to help others and be a part of LRF. I have learned not to sweat the small stuff, to embrace the wonder of life to its fullest."
“I have felt very fortunate to have these fine doctors to help me navigate my CLL/SLL journey and feel very positive on where my CLL journey will take me next.”
"You have to be your own best patient advocate. You have to be the one doing everything you can to make sure you are getting the absolute best treatment possible."
"After a long ten-year journey, I no longer fear my lymphoma! I trust my specialist and I trust the science that underpins the rapidly advancing research."
"People always want to know, 'How should I interact with someone I care about who has cancer?' I think the answer's easy: give them a future. Give them something to look forward to. Plan things with them, because we all need a future to survive for."
“I always tell new patients to never give up hope, and to know this is just a temporary storm. I had the desire to survive, and I want others to have that same desire.”
