"I just wanted to tell you how helpful and moving the DTRF Patient Meeting was last year. The four doctors that presented did a wonderful job in giving an overview of the disease and current treatment options... The most important thing that they imparted was HOPE."

- 2016 Patient Meeting Attendee

 

The talks include a question-answer period where attendees can submit questions.  Following the talks, there is time to mingle, share own stories, learn from each other and ask the experts more questions.  This has been the highlight of the event for many attendees.
