Jim ….

Thank you … I just spoke with Elizabeth and signed up for the Cleveland meeting … As an added note, this will be a pretty easy meeting … Lunch at 1:00pm followed by a brief presentation by the Dr. and then a question and answer period .. All will end by 4:00pm. Thanks again for the “heads up”.

I have been to several of these. They cover the basics for new people but also latest developments in reasearch & the status of new treatments.(I never got lunch!) the last one was not long ago and I heard Dr. Gore. His presentation was excellent. So those of you in the DC/Baltimore area try for that one. The Sidney Kimmel clinic is very nice, not hard to get to(all my treatment has been there) and there is ample parking nearby.

JulieMarie,

I will look forward to it. I am from the Columbus area and will get a lot of The Cleveland Clinic in the next couple of weeks. I have an appt with Dr. Maciejewski on the 26th. So, by mid November, I should know a lot more about this disease.
