I have had CLL for several years and my IGG, though it fluctuates, has been creeping lower with each blood panel. It was 450 when my oncologist suggested infusions. It then went back up to 520. I have no other symptoms and do not get chronic infections. I am not keen to begin infusions and my doctor is usually too busy (stands at the door of the exam room with his computer on a table with wheels) to discuss why he is suggesting infusions other than my IGG number. He just says, it's okay if you don't want to do it now - you can wait." Then he's gone.
Wait? Wait for what? Will I definitely require infusions at some point? Anyone have low IGG and no other symptoms?

@starla37 I get regular IVIG infusions due to recurrent sinus infections. If you’re not getting infections, just hold off. No one reason to get them if you don’t need them.
