Mayo Clinic Connect brings together 2 women with leukemia, 46 years apart Oct 12, 2023 | By Nicole Ferrara (@nicoleferrara)Comment receiving replies
@loribmt WOW you are an inspiration!!!!! when I read my diagnosis last week on a piece of paper and still haven't talked to a doctor I was googling what CLL was and I got myself so upset I didn't eat or sleep for 3 days, my family doctor said STOP googling if you want information go to the Mayo Clinic website and get educated so it took almost 1 week before I did and although I still have not spoke to an oncologist this website gives me hope! I consider myself a super positive person but I have my moments! Thank you!

A diagnosis on a piece of paper with no explanation would rattle anyone. No matter how positive we try to be, we all have those moments where positive thoughts can be nudged aside with negative self talk. It’s tough to be human, huh. 😊
I’m really happy you found Mayo Connec and that I’ve been able to offer some help with your CLL journey in the ongoing conversations we’ve been having in the forum! It always helps to know other people are going through the same personal battle, doesn’t it? Hugs!
