Hi @sue58. Welcome to Connect and thank for sharing your husband’s experience with CLL. It’s positive stories like this that can really help encourage someone just starting out in their CLL journey, and give them hope. ☺️

I’m happy to hear your husband is doing so well and in remission. That’s always cause for a little celebration.
tick bite was unexpected though. Wow, that episode sounded scary! Those things creep me out. We have so many wood and deer ticks where we live. What type of treatment did your husband need? Antibiotics?

They use an anti malarial/parasitic drug - Atovaquone , because it’s a parasite not a bacteria. It eats your red blood cells, not what a leukemia patient needs.🥴 He had to have three transfusions. I think we live in the tick capital of the world.
