The LTFU LifeLinks newsletter is sent quarterly to people who have undergone treatment through Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center's transplant program.
In this issue we discuss the importance of empowering transplant survivors to take part in their recovery by becoming informed about health care, healthy lifestyles and resources available to help with post-transplant complications.
We hope the resources provided will inspire our former patients to participate actively in their continuing recovery.
Best regards,
Paul Martin, M.D.
Director, Long-Term Follow-Up
