Large granular lymphocytic leukemia (LGL) questions

I have been diagnosed with LGL, and am 77 years old and I am on "wait and watch" however I don't like that so when I left his office after my first appointment I purchased a contain of Turmeric extract, and another one of omega -3, Took one of each in the morning and the same in the evening and have had two blood tests since then and my numbers are normal. The oncologist knows nothing about either product, however, if the products work at keeping my numbers normal I will keep on taking them. I got LGL, I am sure from the driveway sealer OKON, made my Rust O'leum, somehow the vapor got through or around my mask and the oncologist does not believe me. It is a petroleum product and I followed the instruction perfectly however a sprayer should not be used as instruction recommend.

Dear @jumper123 from which time you diagnosed?

Good morning, @jumper123. Kudos for taking every precaution for avoiding injury while using that product for sealing your driveway. Longterm exposure to some of these chemicals can be linked with cancers. Whether or not this one-time exposure caused your LGL may never be fully proven but I understand your feeling that this may be linked. I tried to correlate events with my diagnosis too. It’s something I’ll never know for sure…but knowing wouldn’t change the fact that I still had leukemia. So dealing with it becomes the goal, right?
What’s impressive is your change in blood results with taking the turmeric and omega 3 supplements. It’s encouraging to see these positive results. Both products are so beneficial in reducing inflammation.
I’m sure you’ve been reading all you can on LGL but I thought I’d toss in another article for you that shows the different types of LGL and potential treatments. However, with your success, you may not need it! ☺️
