Zadkhi:
Is there anybody from this site who's planning on attending? :)
I'm going to try my hardest to attend this event and I can't wait!
:)
On a somewhat tangential note, when it says that 'patients are free' do they mean all people who have any form of thalassemia?
:huh

Zadkhi, I hope you will be able to attend. Should be very educational and a lot of fun.
In regards to your question, patients include: Beta Thalassemia Major and Intermedia; Alpha Thalassemia Major, Hemoglobin H, Hemoglobin H - Constant Spring, and Homozygous Constant Spring. If there is another form, please e-mail me privately and I will let you know.
Thanks! :biggrin

For those thinking of going to this conference but not sure about it, the two doctors speaking are two of the best thal specialists in the world. I met both of them in Dubai and the experience alone was worth it. I would greatly recommend that if you are on or near the west coast, that you make every effort to hear them speak. Meeting other patients and families only makes it better. :biggrin
