Hi how are you doing, I haven't been on lately but need to keep getting my emails now, my lymph nodes in my neck just popped out this weekend, so sore....I'm a wreck w CLL as I have to have a total knee replacement on my left knee if my WBC goes too high, I'll never get it done..Don't have any support so bad...Pat

Hi I too have the same condition, my doc said stage 1 to me today but in the next day will have a biopsy of my lymph node under my armpit. Then they will really know and he said I may be in stage 0 depending what the outcome is. He also did alot of genetic tests of my blood today so will know in the next 3wks the outcome of all of that. I like my oncologist so that helps alot, he is patient and answers all my questions. My next appt will be for 1 hr was really impressed but alittle nervous at the same time.
