I just got diagnosed via lymph node biopsy in December and oncologist says he thinks I’m in stage 3, I’m just frightened at prosecutors of being on chemo. I’m reading if the many side effects of the chemo exiecuslky for older ppl. I’m 77 and have other heath issues like high blood pressure, mitral
Valve prolapse, bradycardia. I’m searching for ways to stop progression with less side effects. I’ve just read some scary stories of the effects of chemo and radiation. I keep reading that the green tea extract has risk of raising liver enzymes. There’s risks with everything.

I'm sorry to hear about what you are going through. Can you find a CLL specialist in your area or do a zoom visit with one if there isn't a specialist nearby? If you google the Mayo Clinic CLL green tea study you should be able to find what they took. It isn't too hard to get your liver enzymes tested if you go that route. I think there are some studies with tumeric also for CLL as well as other cancers.
