in Leukemia #1

have had Cll leukemia x 5 years. Just had bone marrow biopsy and treatment to begin in couple weeks. My White blood cells are in the 20's lymph nodes count has doubled, spleen is much larger.

Could someone pls enlighten me on the types of treatment my oncologist will recommend and the expected side effects? Would greatly appreciate it. Had prostate cancer with surgery (when they found leukemia) and can answer questions if desired.

    Treatment options/side effects for CLL leukemia

    Hi James. My husband was diagnosed with CLL just a few short years ago. He has opted to not go for treatment. But I believe that is every person's choice on what to do for themselves.

    I don't have anything to add to your comment. I just wanted you to know I care.
