Might have CLL: Does it come on fast?

Please define long time.
I was diagnosed with Stage 3 CLL in 2014 and treated with chemotherapy in 2014-2015.
I am now 70 years of age.
My lab work re: CLL has been within normal limits since treatment ended. Some chemotherapy's side effects remain.
CLL is the gift that keeps giving. I do struggle with fatigue on a regular basis.
I still ski, sail, swim and ride my bicycle. Developing arthritis as I have, I have slowed down considerably.
Oddly, I have trouble finding food that tastes good to me. Chemo byproduct.
I should be dead by now.
I’m not. That pleases me.

Good point I did not define "long" I think your experience is what I was hoping to hear. Probably long would be over 5 years. I am grateful to hear about your journey and you seem to have a hopeful mindset and really have worked to continue to do things that meaningful to you!
