I was diagnosed with hodgkins in 1986, went thru 7 months of MOPP chemo, have been in remission since. I have now been told I have CLL, and require no treatment as of now, has anyone ever heard of this?

    I was diagnosed with Hodgkins in 1989 and have been in remission since 1990. I saw your message and was wondring what CLL is? I have read many articles about Hodgkins Disease and noticed that Leukemia has a higher chance of occurring in patients who have been treated for Hodgkins Disease. I am going to my doctor next week to check my blood levels because I have been feeling extremely fatigued and my joints have been aching. I was just curious about what your symptoms for CLL were?

    Yes. In 1987 I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's, had reocurrence in 1989, diagnosed with CLL in 1991 with remission in 1996.

    CLL is Chronic Lyhmpocite Leukemia. I had weakness & fatigue. 5 year later gained remission. I wish you well.

    I was diagnosed with CLL almost a year ago. My white bloode cell count keeps increasing, it has gone from 15 to 34, and I'm wondering if that's normal or if things are happening unusually fast. I feel fine but keep waiting for something to happen.
