Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) Support Group
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (or "chronic lymphoid leukemia") CLL, is a cancer in which too many lymphocytes (a type of white blood cells) are produced. CLL is the most-diagnosed form of leukemia in adults. Men are twice as likely to develop CLL as women, however the key risk factor is age: over 75% of new cases are diagnosed in patients over age 50.
CLL Survival Rates/Statistical Information
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
It is estimated that 15,340 men and women (8,960 men and 6,380 women) will be diagnosed with and 4,500 men and women will die of chronic lymphocytic leukemia in 2007.
Incidence & Mortality
From 2000-2004, the median age at diagnosis for chronic lymphocytic leukemia was 72 years of age.
Approximately 0.0% were diagnosed under age 20; 0.3% between 20 and 34; 1.9% between 35 and 44; 8.9% between 45 and 54; 19.0% between 55 and 64; 27.0% between 65 and 74; 30.1% between 75 and 84; and 12.8% 85+ years of age.
These rates are based on cases diagnosed in 2000-2004 from 17 SEER geographic areas.
US Mortality
From 2000-2004, the median age at death for chronic lymphocytic leukemia was 78 years of age.
Approximately 0.0% died under age 20; 0.1% between 20 and 34; 0.5% between 35 and 44; 3.1% between 45 and 54; 9.9% between 55 and 64; 22.6% between 65 and 74; 36.4% between 75 and 84; and 27.4% 85+ years of age.
Discussion Poster's Note: I couldn't get tables to paste up on here, the numbers came out all over the place when I tried. Also, in the interest of space, I ommitted many parts of this report describing how they arrived at their numbers, etc. If you want to see the entire report please go to the following link and you can print it out:

I am told by more than one Dr that the statistics on this disease change almost from day to day--I met a lady the other day that was dx 30 yrs ago and is still only stage 2. It manifests itself very differently from person to person

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps.
