Last June I was diagnosed with CLL after a CT and PET scans along with blood tests. With no serious symptoms I'm in "watch and wait." And when I do need treatment, the DC Area CLL Support Group and the CLL Society have given me confidence in the promising new treatments available. In the meantime I have quarterly blood tests and consultation with my doctor. I also enrolled in NIH's Natural History Study for MBL/CLL, SLL, LPL/WM and SMZL patients. The NIH is another source of information on CLL and new treatments that are becoming available every year.
