Hi there. My name is Joann. I am 42 and also have CLL (we are considered very young for this disease) I also have large b cell lymphoma. I was treated immediately, and have been through quite a lot. I saw your post. And I cannot imagine noone wanting to discuss this life threatening disease with you!! I am so sorry. If you have any questions, want to talk or yell and complain (we all have the right)!!!! Please, contact me!!! This is not something to go alone....amd I disagree with watch and wait too!!! Hopefully ill ttys

Drug or Chemo Therapy (Chemotherapy): Although not quite as bad as I expected, the side effects were tough for me. But, here it is 2 years later, and I am just now needing more treatment.... It was worth it_! My personal decision is to continue treatment as long as I have at a minimum 35% chance of 2 yr survival rate per treatment.... Keep in mind, this is a decision only you can make_!! But they have come sk far with leukemia and lymphoma treatments, as long as there is quality of life, and enjoyment, please fight!!!!!!
