I was diagnosed one year ago. EGCG is in green tea. My WBC is normal just the lymphs are slightly elevated so far. I just want to be proactive.

It’s important to discuss the use of supplements with your hematologist. Some can interfere or interact with medications or have unpredictable side effects. Especially if you’re taking other meds. I had AML and wasn’t able to consume turmeric and had to avoid pomegranate and orange juice for a period of time. Innocent foods that you would think are innocuous. But they can have serious consequences in some situations.
How long ago were you diagnosed with CLL?
