Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL/SLL)

I was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in the fall of 2019 during a routine physical. It took a few weeks to confirm the type of leukemia, and that few weeks were a difficult time for me and my wife. Once the diagnosis was complete, the learning process began. We were recommended to see Dr.

I’m 61 years old. I was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) the first time at 51, unaware of any symptoms. I was told that my diagnosis at my age was unusual. After chemotherapy and remission, the disease returned during COVID while I was being treated orally. The second experience was much worse. I’m in clinical remission for the second time in 10 years.
