[CML] Re:Astroturf/fake patient groups

[Cynthia Schaefer]

Rob,the information regarding the drug companies infiltrating and/or creating patient advocacy groups is quite chilling in my opinion.  Does this mean that our support group or CML advocacy groups  could have pharaceutical ties? I have always heard or read about drug company reps"lurking" on these sites but these articles seem to suggest that people might be paid to represent the companies interests.  What is your take on these issues?  Thanks for any information you can provide.  Cynthia Bates Schaefer New!
