Delighted & surprised to see my #medicalmemoir #LifeBlood making the top 20 #bestsellers on hive.co.uk, a big supporter of #independentbookshops. It tells the story of my #leukaemia patients and my career. My wife thinks it's a mistake, but this time she may be wrong

The #Chinese data is of interest but is IMO too preliminary to warrant a #nejm publication. R/R #T - ALL is a hard nut to crack, CARs will be the answer but this doesn't really convincingly move us forward
Combining CAR-T cells and allo-transplant: what a fascinating approach! @NEJM @TheIACH @TheEBMT @Florent_Malard @RemyDulery

Glad it has arrived Krishna. Looks sunny there! When we next meet at a conference? Do let me know what you think of it. Independent RV of # lifeblood in #lancethaematology in May
Fortunate to be asked to chair #ebmt2024 #ALL session with @azcastleton and Debby Yallop, 2 outstanding ALL doctors who represent the #future of our national ALL group. Both gave really good provocative talks. Thanks also to @pacesetter747 Anne Parker and Robin Foa
Thanks Melodie for asking me to sign your well thumbed copy of #lifeblood. The book does have a #patientfocus and may be useful for patients with #leukaemia but it is also about me and I hope it #inspires #youngdoctors
Best education comes from those dedicated to the patient! Thanks @davidmarks1958 for signing my copy of your amazing book. If you haven’t ordered…you should!! It’s a fantastically inspiring story #lifeblood #ALL
