bharty, I have a similar situation. I was diagnosed with B-CLL about 15 years ago. B-lymphos were elevated , but few clinical signs (I slept more). About 5 years ago, the B-lympocyte count went to normal. The lympocytes that are aplastic with the specific markers account for 30% of my B-lymphos. So, general blood work shows normal b-lymphos, but the leukemia is still there.
I feel pretty blessed and hope I continue on as present. I hope you do as well. Yes, my OncoDoc thinks I am also amazing.
FYI, I am 77, W male, otherwise pretty healthy.
