I was diagnosed on Monday with CLL. It is Stage 0 and detected during blood test at annual physical. I’m stage 0 and have no symptoms. I feel fortunate; even though having cancer isn’t great news, it helps me to prioritize my life at 64 years old. Many thanks for this forum and all of you who help ease the burden of this event. It has been a source of great comfort for me.
God Bless and stay strong.

Hi @ftmolloy, and welcome to Connect. I’m so glad you joined our family where you’re able to chat with others who have share the same diagnosis of CLL. This remains one of the more treatable forms of leukemia. And as you’ve seen, treatments can often be delayed or maybe not needed at all.

But even so, I think anytime we get a diagnosis involving the word cancer or leukemia/lymphoma, we go on high alert. A reminder to live our lives to the fullest, and to refocus and prioritize what’s truly important in life. It looks like you’ve embraced that fully. Thank you for sharing how positive this forum has become for you. Feel free to drop in anytime to share more of your story.

Were you having symptoms that led up to your diagnosis or was this found through an annual physical or routine blood work?
