I used to live in Santa Clara and will be going there from my current home in Phoenix to host the meeting. Hope to meet some of you there and would welcome a shout out from you too as I'm also hoping to put together a casual dinner for food, fun and conversation after the event.
Warm regards,
Pat Elliott
CML patient and e-patient advocate
