Event Description

This Gather Community Event is designed for individuals living with plasma cell leukemia (PCL) who want to connect with others facing this rare and challenging diagnosis. Together, we’ll create space to share experiences, discuss what support feels most important right now, and explore quality-of-life and care needs unique to PCL.

Deborah, a retired physician who is also living with PCL will lead out our discussion by sharing her unique perspective and the personal challenges she faced when navigating self-advocacy throughout her experience.

Above all, this session is an invitation to have the kind of open, honest conversations that can only happen with people who truly "get it." This is a completely judgment-free space to talk about the real day-to-day realities of living with PCL, share what is working for you, and find comfort among peers who are walking a similar path. We hope you will join us!
