Our friend and #CLL patient @deborah_sims tested positive for #COVID19 in March 2022 – something she’d been dreading since she started venturing out during the pandemic.
Thank you @LeukaemiaAus for sharing 👇

@CLLAdvocates @LeukaemiaAus Thanks for sharing CLLAN - I hope it reassure others that getting early intervention makes a difference for even the most vulnerable of us

[Deborah Henderson @deborah_sims]

@JudithTrotman1 @WomenInLymphoma Good advice! Happy Anniversary

[Deborah Henderson @deborah_sims]

@CLLAdvocates Looking forward to discussing the issues facing our region - well done everyone!

[Deborah Henderson @deborah_sims]

Fantastic news - the combination which saved my life is now available for patients frontline who are unfit for chemotherapy - this is the 4th PBS listing in 18 months for CLL - thanks to @greghuntmp for all he’s doing for blood cancer patients

[Greg Hunt @TheHonGregHunt]

From Dec 1, breakthrough medicine Venclexta® will be expanded on the PBS for patients living with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia

Without subsidy, 500 patients each year would pay more than $69,000 per course of treatment.

They will now pay $41 or $6.60 with a concession card.

[Deborah Henderson @deborah_sims]

@GregHuntMP @10NewsFirst Wonderful news. I’m about to enter a clinical trial of another new treatment thanks to you but it’s wonderful to know if it doesn’t work this will be the next option for me. That’s 4 treatments in 18 months you’ve listed for CLL which have directly changed my life - thank you!

[Deborah Henderson @deborah_sims]
