Thank you quimbie! The stress of the journey that is trying to conceive would be added to all you have mentioned above. We visited an adoption agency about 5 years ago when it was made clear by an ivf clinic that I would be very unlikely to fall pregnant even with assistance. He was reluctant then, as it was very important to him that he "leave something behind in this world" (his exact words...). I have no idea if he'd be more receptive to the idea now, or if the adoption agency would consider placing a child with us, considering I have this condition. Thank you for your prayers; they are truly appreciated! God bless.
@quimbie did you wait 6 years as you didnt have symptoms? my CCL/SLL was discovered in my lymph nodes just now; i am 62 yrs as well. This is mentally draining for sure. what type of treatment are you having?
