All I can say is follow your Doctor’s advice. If one isn’t comfortable with the advice then find another doctor or hospital for a second opinion. I am very happy with my doctor. After being diagnosed with CLL it was dormant (for lack of a better word) for 2/3 years then I had a flare up. After treatment and blood tests it is now not an issue. But that doesn’t mean it won’t become an issue in the future. Having a doctor you know/like/believe in is a good start. I’m not recommending any doctor or hospital but one has to find a doctor they can believe/trust. I have that so I just trust her. So, I just keep a positive attitude hope for the best. Having CLL is not a good condition to have but having a positive attitude is a good thing to have and each person who has CLL can control their attitude. BE POSITIVE.
