CLL Live: A Conference for Patients Organized by Patients
CLL Canada will be hosting its 6th patient conference on April 24 to 26, 2025 in Niagara Falls, Ontario.
CLL Live conferences provide an opportunity to hear from leading experts in CLL research, treatment and care. As a result, attendees will be better informed and able to discuss relevant concerns and questions with their healthcare team. Education is key for patients and their loved ones to be true partners in their treatment plan.
“Both my care partner and myself gained so much information about CLL, from markers through treatments, etc.”
Patients and care partners who attend this conference value the opportunity to meet one another and share experiences. Listening to what others have undergone, knowing they are not alone, finding hope from the success others have had in managing the disease all contribute to a better quality of life following the conference.
“My wife and I are not alone in the CLL battle. We met wonderful people with great stories of living with CLL.”
CLL Live 2025 will feature speakers of national and international renown.
