I realize you were recently diagnosed with CLL just a few months ago. Even though your doctor has you in active surveillance with no appt for 6 months, it doesn’t mean you can’t contact them in the meantime. Any time you’re feeling a possible change in symptoms or concerned about your health you can certainly schedule an appointment, call or write a message in the patient portal to your oncology office.
We have some active CLL discussions in Connect. Here’s a link to a conversation started by @hikerny, who was recently diagnosed.

Having a weakened immune system is challenging any time. I’m there myself. So do what you can to boost your immunity with foods rich in antioxidants and vitamins. Drink around 64 oz of water daily and if you’re feeling up to it (and even if you aren’t) try to take walks daily. It helps reduce inflammation in the body.
Sinus infections can really drag a person down too. What are you doing to treat those?
