Hi @sonia85, Anytime we or someone we love is diagnosed with a blood cancer, that’s just scary. So you’re only human to worry about your mom after finding out she has Chronic Lymphoid Leukemia. The good news is this one is usually slow to develop as you read in the article I gave you. It appears your mom is in the very early stage of the disease where there is no need to treat.

Your mom’s doctor is relying on her recent blood tests and her bone marrow biopsy to make that diagnosis. He plans to follow up every 3 months to monitor her blood work. That is plenty of time to make sure there are no changes in her blood cells and react if there are any changes.
Three months is the same schedule I’m on for monitoring my blood. My doctor is at ease with the 3 month span to be able to catch any potential issues early.

In your mom’s case, if this were me, I’d be comfortable with what her doctor said. She should get on with her life and enjoy every day. If she feels extra tired for an extended period of days or any serious changes in her health, she can simply call the doctor and get her blood tested earlier. I know people who have been on Watchful Waiting for years with no changes. It just doesn’t pay to worry about what ifs! Our imaginations are often worse than reality.

I sincerely encourage both you and your mom to exhale! I know you’ve been holding your breath. 🙂
Do you live near your mom? Do you often do things together? What brings your mom joy every day?
