CMT Patient & Family Conference 2012

CMT Patient & Family Conference 2012:

So excited to announce the Annual CMT Patient & Family Conference for 2012 on Living With CMT Online Support Group!

CMT Patient & Family Conference on November 10, 2012, from 9am-2pm.  The conference, which is the first such event to be held in the Chicagoland area in years, will feature a few of the most prominent CMT clinicians and researchers, including Michael Shy, MD, Steven Scherer, MD, PhD, John Svaren, PhD, Gregory Carter, MD, and Sean McKale, CO.*

This event provides an extremely valuable opportunity to hear from the most prominent minds in the fields of CMT research and treatment. Registration is just $50 per person and includes “Lunch with the Experts,” during which you will have time to talk with the presenters and other leading CMT authorities, including the CMTA’s Advisory Board members, while enjoying a delicious buffet lunch.

I try really hard to keep positive, me and my son could have been diagnosed with something worse.  I am glad to have found this site, where there are others that share the same genetic disease issues!  As I said, I felt isolated and thought that I was the only human living with this very rare disease.”
