Anyone have chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)?

My first oncologist told me that CLL would probably not take my life and that I would have it the rest of my life, so I should live my life as though I had never heard about it! He, also, said new treatments are discovered every day! BTW, I was diagnosed in 1996 and I am now 83.

Thank you for this reply, @nana120, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/1294132/

I think it’s exactly the type of positive and encouraging message that @ksandusky86 needs to hear about their CLL diagnosis. You were diagnosed almost 30 years ago, with only 3 treatments and now stable for the last 9 or so years! This will definitely help to counter-act the negativity of their oncologist. ☺️

Do you recall what the treatments were?
