It’s wonderful to see you feel you’re getting great information here. 🙃 That’s the goal of this forum to help other members find answers, to offer encouragement and feel like you’re part of a larger family. I think it helps to feel you’re not alone in your new medical journey.

A little more information for you if you haven’t already seen this article from Mayo Clinic.

There are other members I’d like to introduce you to who also have CLL or family members who do. Their ongoing and current conversation is in the link below.

I know it can be difficult in the watchful waiting” period. You might feel like it’s a ticking time bomb. I’d encourage you to let feeling that go. Don’t live in fear of the future! Go about every day as normal and enjoy life. You’re being monitored and if there are any changes, they will be caught early. You may be fortunate and never need treatment. But there are options if you do.

It’s great that you’re active! Don’t stop moving! 🙂
