CML get together/patient meeting Montreal - October 29,2005

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends and fellow CMLer,

Exciting news - we are finally able to confirm that we will have a very

special meeting on October 29th at the Royal Hospital - J.S.L.

Browne Amphitheatre, on October 29th, 2005. It will start at approximately

1:00 PM with a lunch and other refreshments being served followed by a

presentation by Dr. Pierre Laneuville, Hematology RVH and Dr. Ravandi,

Hematology MD , Houston Texas. Dr. Laneuville will provide an

update on the latest treatments for CML including information about the new

BMS drug, Dasatinib as well as what trial are continuing and upcoming at the

Vic. Dr. Ravandi will provide an update on AMN107 and other treatments in

the pipeline for CML. Dr. Ravandi is a partner of Dr. Francis Giles, who

could not join us in Montreal due to a conflict in his scheduling. However,

Dr. Ravandi will have all the information to present to us.

We will also be presenting Dr. Laneuville with a very special gift, a

portrait of himself, done by a local artist (Thanks to Rita Levig for

working on this for us). We will be presenting this to him to thank him for

his complete dedication to us in chairing our meetings and giving up many of

his Saturday's to continue to provide us with information and guidance.

If you would like to be part of the gift, we will be accepting donations.

Please consider car-pooling (for those from out of town) and seeing whatever

you can do to join us here in Montreal for a very exciting meeting.

More details will follow. Please write back to me and let me know if you

are planning to attend so that we have food/refreshments for everyone.

Please note, that other than a contribution towards the gift (which is

completely optional), the meeting is entirely free. Because I am a member

of the board of the Auxiliary, the room has been donated for free and we

would like to acknowledge and thank Novartis for sponsoring the cost of the

food/refreshments.

Free parking will be provided in the Doctors Parking lot (special VIP

privileges for all) which is conveniently located just outside the J.S.L.

Browne Amphitheatre were the meeting will be held.

More details will follow. Please confirm your attendance so that we have

food/refreshments for everyone.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Looking forward to seeing us all together again,

Cheers,

Cheryl-Anne
