LEUKAEMIA PATIENTS SUPPORT GROUP

CATHERINE LEWIS CENTRE RECEPTION
HAMMERSMITH HOSPITAL
Du Cane Road
London W12 0HS

SATURDAY 7th June 2008
10.30AM – 1.00PM

This will be the third meeting of the Hammersmith Leukaemia Patient Support Group. We hope that you will be able to attend. This is very informal and the purpose of this meeting is for leukaemia patients and their carers to meet with others who know what it is like to live with leukaemia. Although this is run at Hammersmith leukaemia patients/carers from other hospitals are welcome to attend.

Our guest speaker on 7th of June is Dr Eduardo Olavarria – one of the consultants at Hammersmith - he will be speaking about transplantation.

We hope to meet every two months and if there is demand we will meet every four weeks. This is your group and we will very much tailor the group to the needs of those attending.

This group is run in collaboration with the Hammersmith Support Nurses and support of the Hammersmith team.

Refreshments will be provided courtesy of the Gary Allen Fund. The date of the next meeting will be posted after we meet on 7th June.

We hope to see many of you on 7th June. FREE PARKING

We both look forward to seeing you all at our meeting on Saturday which should prove to be another interesting meeting & a chance for both patients & carers to meet together.

Please note the meeting is 10am for 10.30 start so we can have time for refreshments & have time to catch up with everyone so that we can start at 10.30am to give our guest speaker Eduardo Olavarria plenty of time to talk on transplants and your questions.

Best wishes
Elizabeth & Carol

Does anyone have any info on this....I am in the USA my (considerably older) brother is a perfect match for me he is in the UK. Has anyone ever heard of harvesting a possible donor's BM for future use i.e if I get worse and that is my only option or he dies???
