CLL leukemia: Just diagnosed, what can be done?

I have a different feeling about wanting to know what caused me to get cll. Often people on this forum and in the support groups I have attended seem to have a lack of curiosity about what caused it. If it is an environmental cause, I would want to know and I would think others would to. I feel it is dismissive for doctors and others to tell people don't worry or think about what caused it. It could be a "fluke" etc.

Hi. I was diagnosed 2 years ago. No treatment yet. It’s stage 4 - all 4 quadrants. Waiting til lymph nodes are 10mm. All my blood work is good as of Tuesday’s visit. I have my 6 month ct scan coming up soon as well. I can’t help but feel it’s environment related as well and/or Covid vaccines. But I have no clue. No symptoms of any kind though. Just stressed over it. I do feel a sense of dismissiveness as well from all doctors.
