Hi @nancybev
My kids were also concerned until I got us all up to speed. There is a ton of information to learn, but fortunately so many great & reliable resources available.
I was dx'd May'24 @ 64. I went on drugs (Zanubrutinib) immediately. Both Mayo and UMN Med Center did biopsies, FISH, along with too many other tests to keep track of. As you have learned, or will hopefully soon learn, for most people it's something to live with... though unfortunately some people are impacted to a much greater degree.
There is a lot of support right here & out there for CLL and its variants. Staying healthy is a great idea, so kudoos for that! Happy to answer any questions if you have them.
