Patient Advisory Board Novartis

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I am just back from Houston and must say, it was the BEST thing to

happen to me in a long time. I am so happy to have been a part of this.

I want you to know all the issues you all raised were presented by more

than one person and the information very well recieved. They put a

human face to the company. It was wonderful. They are caring, concerned

and dedicated individuals who care very much about what they can do for

us - CML patients. I will look forward to seeing what our input does in

terms of improvement for patient support and education down the road.

Meanwhile, I would suggest you visit the following sites:

www.mycmlcircle.com <http://www.mycmlcircle.com> -for patient

assistance in payment for drug protocol

www.us.tasigna.com <http://www.us.tasigna.com>

..........and look for updates down the pike.

What a validation of CML survivors. and fighters, warriors and

supporters!

What a great thing to have happen!!

Peace and blessing to all.
