A Retreat in Toronto you won't want to miss........

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone- I attended a CML Patient Retreat in

Calgary last weekend put on by the CML Society of

Canada. What a jam packed weekend full of meeting

fellow CML'ers (whom I didn't know existed in

Calgary).

We saw an extremely informative and educational video

prepared and presented by the Association, followed by

a question and answer period.

A local CML Doctor was present to answer our questions

in a very relaxed setting. No one felt intimidated

and felt free to ask whatever was on their mind

regarding CML.

What was most amazing was the dinner on Friday night

where all these strangers just sat and chatted for

over three hours - there were absolutely no quiet

moments where we were lost for something to say.

I would encourage you to attend the Retreat in

Toronto, this coming weekend. I copied and pasted the

information for you so if it's not lined up perfectly,

it's my fault.

If I could, I'd fly to Toronto just to take part in

this Retreat as I found it so beneficial and fun.
