Hi @marymoreau1948 I don’t think anyone is fond of chemo treatments but they can be absolutely necessary for some of us in an effort to rid our bodies of cancer cells and to buy us precious time. In my case, had I not gone through the rigorous chemo treatments and a bone marrow transplant I wouldn’t be here. The side effects, though unpleasant, were short lived. And those I did have were a very small price to pay for now being able to live a full and happy life. I’ve been alive 4 more years than I would have been. I’m now 69 and counting on at least 20 more years!
So I hope, if you’re not ready to push up daisies from the underside, that if you are offered the choice between chemo and a premature visit through the ‘pearly gates’ that you trust your oncologist to help buy you precious time.

You have CLL and WM? Are you in a watch and wait period?
