New diagnosed CLL waiting for staging 48 year old female

Good afternoon.  I am a 38 yr old female and was diagnosed with CLL June of 2016.  Blood cancers are tricky, being so complex.  I am still in the wait and watch phase, although things are progressing with me as well.  Usually, from what I understand, is that they do not treat until your double rate for your lymphocytes is short, or you have other side affects that need treating.  I just got off of a month fighting pneumonia and am currently recovering from a tonsilectomy.  I had two uneven tonsils that they tried to reduce the size with large amounts of prednisone, but it stayed large so once my lunger were clear they took both my tonsils out.  I'd love to connect with you.  I have always been told that I am so young to be getting CLL, just like you.  I go to an hematology, oncologist that is local, but am close enough to Mayo to go there if needed.
