The CLL Society was founded by doctor turned patient, Dr Brian Koffman and his wife Patricia Koffman. He has dedicated himself to teaching and helping the CLL community since his diagnosis in 2005. Dr Koffman’s dual status as a physician and patient provides a unique experience and understanding which allows him to provide clear explanations of complex issues and to advocate for his fellow patients and inform his fellow healthcare providers. This is especially important in view of the rapidly changing therapeutic landscape.
