Yes a close relative just diagnosed. No symptoms, just weird blood test, and more tests confirmed. In a wait and watch mode now. Looks promising.

@momh, welcome. It can sometimes be distressing when the recommended treatment is "watch and wait". People may equate this with "doing nothing," which is why I personally prefer the term "active surveillance," which implies careful monitoring.

How is your close relative doing? Do you have any questions about living CLL?
