Hi everyone- I attended a CML Patient Retreat in
Calgary last weekend put on by the CML Society of
Canada. What a jam packed weekend full of meeting
fellow CML'ers (whom I didn't know existed in
Calgary).
We saw an extremely informative and educational video
prepared and presented by the Association, followed by
a question and answer period.
A local CML Doctor was present to answer our questions
in a very relaxed setting. No one felt intimidated
and felt free to ask whatever was on their mind
regarding CML.
What was most amazing was the dinner on Friday night
where all these strangers just sat and chatted for
over three hours - there were absolutely no quiet
moments where we were lost for something to say.
I would encourage you to attend the Retreat in
Toronto, this coming weekend. I copied and pasted the
information for you so if it's not lined up perfectly,
it's my fault.
If I could, I'd fly to Toronto just to take part in
this Retreat as I found it so beneficial and fun.
