My wife Ruth and I attended this Patient Education Day, and we gave a presentation on how patients and families can help themselves in their battle against bone marrow failure diseases.

The presentations by Dr. Delorme, Dr. Dallas, and Dr. Nevill were excellent. Our session, and the patient/caregiver panel led by Dr. Leitch were well-received too.

Our thanks to AAMAC for putting on this very useful event.
