Treatment Free Remission (TFR) and Dose Reduction in CML – what is right for me?

The aim of this webinar is to empower you with the knowledge and confidence to become involved in your treatment decisions.

Join us for support and advice on Treatment-Free Remission (TFR) and Dose Reduction in chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML)

What questions and advice will be covered? 

  • What is dose reduction and why may it be more suitable for many than TFR?
  • Are there any other alternatives to TFR and dose reduction?
  • How can I manage my treatment expectations and my quality of life?
