This is a message from Pat Elliot about the death of Lottie. I promised Barbara Meunier that I would post the news here as some of you knew Dottie and might not have heard this news. She had several other health issues in the past few years.
"It's a very sad day in the CML community. Lottie Duthu, a brave, kind and caring woman, has passed away. Diagnosed in 1996, Lottie reached out to, and impacted, hundreds of CML patients around the world through online connections, phone calls, face to face meetings, attending conferences and more. Nothing could keep her down or keep her from sharing words of encouragement and support with others. Family and friends in Louisiana will share information on services at a later time." Pat Elliot

Was always looking for articles and sharing them with other patients. Kept in contact by email & phone with numerous Cml patients worldwide. Had been suffering from numerous health problems over these last few years , side effects from drugs mainly.'
