Newly diagnosed CLL How to interpret FISH results?

Hi @dharma, You were recently diagnosed with CLL, which is a chronic and often slowly developing type of leukemia. I know it’s frighting to receive a new diagnosis. Even more frightening to read blood work and test results when you aren’t familar with any of the numbers or terminology. From my own experience, it’s better to wait and speak with your doctor than try to interpret results on your own. It’s normal for you and your family to be worried. If I can reassure you at all, CLL is one of the more treatable forms of leukemia.

I just responded to your other post about when you would have gotten CLL.
In that reply I’ve provided you with some good informational articles that will help familiarize you with CLL and the possible treatments. Here’s a link to that post: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/1094363/

I think you’ll find those articles helpful. We also have quite a few members in our forum who have CLL. You can find all of the discussions by typing in CLL in the search box.
To get you started I think this would be a great conversation for you to pop into to meet other members. (The conversations are in chronological order so some are dated but still relevant. You can change the order from oldest to newest to see the most current discussion)

Have you had the consultation with your hematologist oncologist yet?

Thanks for this info. I will check out your links. Thank you Lori.
