No real symptoms yet, more night sweats, and sweaty palms, and face flushing. I’m 70 so maybe beyond menopause hot flashes but that’s basically it. No other symptoms yet. It’s weird to just be waiting. They said when lymph nodes are 10mm then they will start treatment too, or if an organ becomes involved, or I exhibit more symptoms . Biggest lymph node was removed in a biopsy from groin 2 yrs ago. It was 2.7mm. I can find no real difference in CLL and SLL either when I read about it. Just 6 month check ups, blood work, ct scans. I’ve seen 3 different drs as well. All say the same thing.
