Sock drawer remains a mess, however the weeds I call lawn are beginning to look great. My new weed whacker is great. The doc called this afternoon. All the blood tests confirm CLL. Prognosis is good, my Stage is Zero. He will order same blood tests every six months to monitor my situation and that I am to live my normal life. I gotta tell you my relief level felt like I hit a home run. I think I will sleep well tonight, no waking up wondering if I am really ill and just in denial. I will keep an eye out here, but probably won't have a lot to say. I am so fortunate with this diagnosis, I will keep others in my prayers. Thank you for the kind words, understanding and patience.

Ah, there’s nothing like holding your breath, for what seems like months, and finally being able to exhale! I’m relieved right along with you that the news is good. Being at Stage 0 CLL and having bloodwork only every 6 months is a good indication that your doctor isn’t anticipating anything to raise eyebrows anytime soon…maybe never.
So, skip sorting the sock drawer and keep up with your lawn. That’s what people see anyway. 😅
Looking forward to followups from you. It’s always encouraging to anyone newly diagnosed with CLL to see the positive news like yours. Don’t be a stranger, ok?
