Hi Lisa,
I'm sure your mom will do fine.Most treatments for CLL aren't nearly as bad as for other cancers.Do you know which treatment she is having?Is it Rituxin,FCR or something else.I've been through several and didn't even lose my hair.Some sickness,nausea and fevers but Zofran worked well for the nausea.Just think of it as ridding her body of the Leukemia. If you need to talk I will try to be here for you! Thoughts & Prayers, Deb

Hi Lisa!
I am so sorry about your mum! I am glad she stayed three years without treatment though. With my mum, it's been less than a year since the diagnosis, and I hope and pray she won't need treatment for years to come! You are very brave, and will continue to be brave for your lovely mum. You must be so precious to her, and with your support, your mum will go through this and feel better. Hugs, Lia
