CLL diagnosis: Anyone on watch and wait?

Posted by hgoerzen @hgoerzen, 6 days ago

I just turned 70 and was diagnosed with CLL about 2 years ago. My blood counts have been pretty stable since then, so my hematologist isn't recommending any treatment at this time. Any suggestions?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Blood Cancers & Disorders Support Group.

Watch and Wait is likely appropriate, assuming you’ve had stable lymphocyte counts and other markers are reasonable. If you’re not seeing a true CLL expert, get a second opinion from one. Check out the CLL Society website.
