Hi Darryl, My Dad lived for 25 years with CLL and didn’t die from it. My understanding is most people don’t die from it. He had a difficult final last 5 years fighting it in the end but died from a fall. For 20 years after his diagnosis though he lived in relatively good health. He played golf and partied with his friends and had some great times. I get the point in the article about not wanting to go through the pain of disease but CLL can typically be managed pretty well. Maybe the guy had a real difficult case?

Thanks you much for posting this Darryl.. whatever our personal beliefs are? We all should come to terms how fleeting this life is . I believe that our spirit does not die with our death. In fact eternity doesn’t start in the grave . It starts right now. Human kindness rules. Have a great day Darryl. I appreciate you 👍🙏🏼
