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.
