“I was diagnosed at the age of 63 with Hemophilia B after hemorrhaging after a tooth extraction. I look forward to learning about the new and emerging therapies, tips on safely staying active, and learning how to self -infuse. In addition, seeing familiar members of the bleeding disorder community gives great comfort and support. I also look forward to making new friends and sharing experiences.” – Paul
