Well, I have a post that's all written, that I had planned to put up this weekend, but I need to hold off on showing it to you. I'll explain later.
For now, here's a reminder that the Lymphoma Research Foundation is holding its virtual National Lymphoma Workshop on November 16. This is a day-long event, completely online, and it's all about the latest research in Lymphoma ("Understanding Lymphoma Basics and Current Treatment Options").
The workshop is chaired by Dr. Neha Mehta-Shah of Washington University in St. Louis, Dr. Craig Portell of the University of Virginia, and Dr. Carrie Thompson of the Mayo Clinic. I'm not as familiar with the work that Drs. Mehta-Sha and Portell do, but I've written before about Dr. Thompson, who does a lot of research on Surviorship and Quality of Life. I think she's great. I'm sure the other two will be equally good.
I attended one of these in the past, and it was excellent. You can expect to hear information that it meant for patients who are newly diagnosed, those who are relapsed/refractory, and information about survivorship. There will also be a session devoted to Follicular Lymphoma, where they may talk about treatment options, clinical trials, and new therapies. And there will be a chance to submit questions for the experts to answer.
Registration is required. You can find out more details and get the registration link here.
I'll have more for you soon. This is about my busiest time of the year for me, with lots of work stuff, plus some really interesting cancer-related advocacy work that I'm doing. I'll try to share more about it when I can stop and take a breath.
Stay well.
