Hi @sonia85 From the doctor’s comment it looks like your mother has Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. (CLL)
This blood cancer is slow to develop and often doesn’t need any immediate treatment, sometimes for many years. She will have blood tests every three months to check for any changes. This is called “watchful waiting”.

I found an article online that discusses the Watchful Waiting for patients with CLL. You’ll be able to read that this is a very common approach to your mom’s disease.

So I would take this as a good sign that your mom is in the early stages and nothing needs to be done at this time. 🙂
Does this help ease your mind a little?
