How are
the best cancer treatment decisions made? While doctors are experts on
malignancies and treatments, it is important to remember that survivors are the
experts on themselves and their journey. The best decisions are made when
both groups are involved.
Come hear Dr. Alan Miller, Director
of the Baylor Charles A. Sammons Cancer Center and Chief of Oncology for the
Baylor Health Care System, talk about steps you should take to make informed treatment
decisions. Dr. Miller is a leading researcher who can help remove the
mystery surrounding clinical trials and give you a framework to
evaluate standard care vs. clinical trial options for your own treatment.
The presentation will be followed by a Q&A session with Dr. Miller,
an oncology nurse, and a survivor familiar with clinical trials so you can get
your own burning questions answered.
Be sure to take advantage of this
opportunity to hear from one of our premiere local experts and learn more about
all the ways The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society can support you. This
free event is open to the public, but space is limited. Register today: https://www.llsform.org/0110FS01/patienteducation/index.html
I hope to see you there!
Your
friend,
Seetha
