The Annual CML Horizons conference was held in Bucharest, Romania between the 23rd and 25th May 2025. Friends of Max was represented by Pramod John George, Trustee and Jt. Secretary.
Three days of networking, learning and celebrating advocacy.
Over 100 participants from 55 countries came together to share insights, tackle challenges, and observe the landmark of 25 years of progress in the management of CML.
From deep-dive medical sessions to engaging workshops on patient-centred care, peer mentoring, and sustainable advocacy – every session made a meaningful impact.
Shares Pramod, “An unforgettable and once in a lifetime experience of meeting Dr Brian Drucker- the man himself- was truly inspiring!”
If tens of thousands of CML patients are living today, it is because of Dr Brian Drucker, the true force behind Gleevec, the revolutionary ‘Magic Bullet’ that transformed CML from a fatal disease into a chronic, manageable condition. His ground-breaking discovery showed that a drug could target cancer cells while leaving healthy cells mostly unharmed.
FOM applauds CML Advocates Network for organizing year after year, the CML Horizons Meeting and looks forward to contributing in a bigger capacity to this global community!
