I am 81 have the pv for almost 2 years. the only thing i was worried about was hair loss which did not happen.
Looked up iron defiency anemia and found that hu can cause it. my rbc was very high that is why i was put on hu and i also had mbl b-cell which changed to cll, no problems it is just a watch and wait. I have a cousin who also has cll and she has said if you are getting cancer cll is fine cause nothing happens. next month when i see oncologist it is question time.
