Chemo is rarely used anymore for CLL. Talk to your doctor about the side effects. Hard to know what to sauna the middle of your treatment cycles. You really should secure a second opinion from a CLL expert. Check out the list on the CLL Society website.

I was diagnosed with CLL 2/3 years ago. I am pleased with my Doctor’s decisions which were: two units of blood and four infusions of ribatox (sp?). My body & CLLhave responded positively. So I went from monthly blood tests to every three month blood tests. My Doctor says I am doing extremely well, she also told me that CLL can come back in a not good way. That’s what I like about my Doctor: I want the unvarnished truth and she knows my wishes and complies. She has “good bedside manners” . So I just deal with my with my CLL with a POSITIVE ATTITUDE and hope for a longer life that SEEMS to be in the cards at this point in time. I also realize that I as everyone am terminal. So I just am waiting for symptoms or the next good blood test. That might sound like a downer but the truth in my life at this point in time.
I wishing everyone who has a blood condition a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
