The Kings CML the patients group meeting yesterday were introduced to Dr Hugues de Lavallade. He has joined the clinical team as a consultant haematologist in myeloid malignancies and transplant. The meeting was very lively, and Dr de Lavallade gave a brief overview of his main interest -CML- and answered questions from the group on the ways forward for CML in Kings, and the major developments for CML treatment that are being trialled across europe, and the world. We are very lucky to have a consultant who has recently finished a PHD on the developing treatment of CML.
It was good to meet some new patients, hello Wendy - and we look forward to more lively meetings in the near future.
Pennie.
