 Andrew and Esther Schorr of Patient Power

While we are still in “virtual” event mode (in-person events hopefully coming soon), Patient Power is offering three FREE online events before the end of April we hope will prove useful no matter where you and your loved ones are located:


Answers Now: CLL Drug Resistance and Intolerance | Tuesday, April 19, 2022 | With all of the treatment options that are available, patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and their medical teams have more choice in dealing with drug resistance and intolerance.

Evening With the Docs: NYU Langone Health | Tuesday, April 26, 2022 | An in-depth conversation with chronic lymphocytic leukemia experts from the Perlmutter Cancer Center NYU Langone Health.

Answers Now: Diagnosed Young with Multiple Myeloma | Wednesday, April 20, 2022 | While there is no good time to receive a diagnosis of multiple myeloma, being diagnosed at a younger age offers unique challenges.

Meanwhile, we are planning to attend ASCO (American Society of Clinical Oncology) in Chicago in June, serving as patient advocates and connecting with key clinicians, researchers and other advocates. We will be excited to share news that comes out of that meeting and Patient Power will bring forth some of the key takeaways as well.

Andrew, working with his wife of 36 years, Esther, has been a patient education pioneer since 1984 and became a patient himself in 1996 when he was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. A clinical trial in 2000 led to a long leukemia remission and he has been treated for myelofibrosis since 2012. He leads a full life.
