Hello @linepa2002 Welcome to Connect. I’m happy to see you’ve already discovered some helpful posts with the diagnosis with your CLL. It’s generally a slow to develop blood cancer and medications can help to slow the progress.

Here’s a little information about Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.

Looks like, also tossed in with the CLL, is a condition referred to as MGUS, Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance. That’s mouthful! Instead of me trying to explain this condition, I’ve found a couple of good articles that will give you a little more information:

Both of those conditions are often found randomly after routine bloodwork. You mentioned so many members were suspected of CLL after a mammogram. The mammogram didn’t cause the CLL to happen. It’s common for women with CLL to have lumps in their breasts investigated after a mammogram. Another random discovery…

Were you experiencing symptoms before you were diagnosed or was this found with a routine physical?

I have no symptoms and did not have any just routine blood work and next thing I know my G/p had me at a oncologist. How was often do most people get labs? I was getting labs every 2 weeks until the last 2 draws than 3 weeks now 4. Thank you for your time and your help.
