Welcome to Connect, @mylove. Your @name is so sweet. I’m thinking you and your husband may have been married for a long time? My husband and I are just coming up on our 50th anniversary in two weeks. Amazing how quickly the time flies. However five years ago the diagnosis of an aggressive form of leukemia rocked our happy little life. With treatment I’m cancer free and life goes on! 🙃

We’re all about hope and encouragement in Connect so I’m happy you’ve found the forum. There are quite a few veteran members who also have CLL along with some newer members who have felt the same level of shock as you and your husband. The good news is that CLL remains one of the more treatable forms of leukemia.

A couple of months ago a new member joined, very worried about her husband’s diagnosis of CLL. I’m going to paste the link to our conversation in hopes that it will also give you some comfort. There’s a lot of information packed into that reply with links to articles that you’ll find helpful.

Here’s the link…keep right on reading past the initial reply:

Is your husband going to require treatment or is he in an active surveillance period?
