Welcome to Connect, @lusting! You made me chuckle with your, Yikes! I had one of those birthdays this year too that made me say Yikes when I saw the number. But that’s all it is, right…Age is just a number! As long as we’re healthy and not pushing daisies up from the underside life is good!

The best news is that you are going to be 89 and still enjoying life. Having CLL is a chronic condition and you are proof that whatever meds your doctor has for your treatment is working. Members in the forum can’t diagnose or offer treatments so I’d stick with what’s working for you!

We have some good discussions with other CLL members. Here’s a link to get you started.
