Hi @lambo1, Some of the newer treatments for CLL are amazing. A younger father my neighbor hood, in his late 30s has CLL. He started a targeted therapy a couple of years ago and just completed a marathon race last weekend!
So the advances in medicine certainly offer hope to so many of us with blood cancers! But you’re right, fingers crossed that you won’t ever need it at all.

It happens! You might be encouraged by this news from @gardeningjunkie with her remission from CLL with no treatment.

How frequently do you have followup blood work?

Thanks for the link to the individual who experienced spontaneous regression. Very interesting, indeed. I get my blood work done every three months and see my hematologist every six. She said this frequency is because I have the two blood cancers, otherwise blood work every six would be okay since I am stable. Where are you at in all this?
