Hello, Paul. The best advice I can give you, or anyone with this disease, is to go to the HealthUnlocked.com support group. You will learn tons of information from very warm and knowledgeable people. Information is based on scientific fact, not someone's ideas. Though all ideas are welcome for discussion. NO SUCH THING AS A STUPID QUESTION. So don't be afraid to ask ANYTHING. It is an amazingly supportive group of fellow CLLers guided by knowledable administrators. I joined the UK group. You can choose the USA group too. I meant to check out the USA group, but have been so pleased with the level of knowledge, in my group, that I didn't get to checking out the USA group!
I sincerely hope you join us!
