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.
You have been so far given the full court press. You need to do research on cll topics. It will really help you.
Education is key. I didn't state it right. This is one leukemia that you live longer if just left alone. There is a lot of research on various herbs like green tea extract also
Also reading up on CLL and the medical research that early treatment is contra indicated. Like some of the other members I was confused about that. Now it makes sense that the first doctor who (2 years ago) diagnosed the elevated white count ( as well as two follow up elevated white counts), said that there is a type of "Old Age Leukemia" (he actually used those words) that did not need any Treatment, He also said that his elderly father had been diagnosed with Leukemia, did not require treatment and had no symptoms. Now this statement starts to make sense.
Meanwhile I am awaiting my appt. Monday morning to get my test results from the oncologist.. Again thank you.
