Are you a CLL patient who is unsure of why you are on a watch and wait?

A panel discussion where we will be joined by haematology experts who will be discussing the watch and wait process, answering live questions from the audience.

  • Bryony Tyrell – Lymphoid Clinical Nurse Specialist University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust
