I was diagnosed with CLL about11 years ago and up till now did not require any treatment. I feel good, except a little fatigued, along with a slightly swollen groin that doesn't bother me at all so far. there isn't any other swollen nodes or glands so far. I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables during the course of the week along with protein and fish oil capsules; this has been going on for quite a few years. Any further thoughts concerning CLL would be appreciated. I'm a former Korean War combat veteran serving in Korea in 1953-54, if the unhealthy area during those years had any affect whatsoever on CLL. Today South Korea is a beautiful and healthy country and I am proud of their success in making their country attentive to the needs of their citizens. Everett Marabian

I got CLL about 12 years ago and have not had any problems so far. My white bood count is now 82,000; they will not do any treatments until it gets to 160,000. For the last 12 yrs or so it stayed between 82000-93,000 so no medications have been considered. The white blood cells should be between 5,000-10,000 to be good. EAM
