Even though GIST, MDS/MPD, HES/CEL, DFSP, and Ph+ ALL are all relatively uncommon, there are a number of professional and advocacy groups that offer disease information, treatment advice, and other kinds of support. Patient associations can help patients find social networks, emotional support, and first-hand information about these diseases and their treatments.
