Hi @mabfp3, I hope you don't mind but I merged your discussion with this existing discussion that @kegraves started just a few weeks earlier. Her husband, too, has recently diagnosed with chronic lymphacytic leukemia. You can start to read from the beginning of the discussion here:
- CLL leukemia: Just diagnosed, what can be done? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/cll-leukemia/
In addition to the great responses you got from @sandiegostu @loribmt and @annieg87, you'll now be introduced to more CLL-ers and caregivers like @teddytwo @kegraves @4romeosierra @hababeck @pieter1961 @carl50. So pull up a chair and join the widening circle.
I hope your appointment went well today.

I am 67 and was just diagnosed with CLL. Awaiting more testing and surgery.

Thank you very much for merging my discussion with @kegraves. I will definitely read all of the posts. Thank you, also, for your kindness in remembering my husband’s first appointment yesterday. The oncologists at Mass General Hospital were wonderful to us! We were told that he is currently at a stage zero, which was fantastic news to hear! They gave us a lot of hope! My husband will return in three months for another round of bloodwork and if the numbers stay where they are right now, they will extend additional appointments further out. This site has been so helpful to me! I will continue to stay on it, along with reading all that I can about CLL and supporting those people with positivity who post. Once again, thank you very much!
