Hi @skycountry, welcome to Mayo Connect. I’m happy you found us. We have quite a few members with CLL and they’ll be happy to offer their support and information. I’m guessing you’ve read through some of their stories already. CLL is generally slow to develop. People can go years without treatment.

If you’d like to request an appointment with one of the Mayo Clinic Campuses in Rochester, Phoenix or Jacksonville here is the link to contact the campus of your choice to initiate a visit. http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63

If you live in Texas and are near MD Anderson that would be another top tier cancer center you may want to try.

Most Hematologist/Oncologists are familiar with CLL and I’m not sure you need to have a another specialist. A hematologist oncologist is a specialist in blood cancers. There are some who do direct most of their research to the area. However, since this is slow to develop it gives you time to find a doctor you feel comfortable working with and trust.A second opinion is never a wasted trip.

How’s your current hematologist? Are you feeling satisfied or needing maybe a little more reassurance that you’re doing the right things at this time?
