CLL + Trisomy 8

Was diagnosed with CLL in 2018 at 45yrs old, started treatment in 2019 and just finished my 19th month of Obinituzamab, Venetoclax, and Ibrutinib trial. Had BMB and showed remaining small population of B-cells - dang! Also showed Trisomy 8? Seems very rare for CLL patient to have Trisomy 8. Oncologist doesn't know what to do - says watch and wait now (no more treatment), but probably indicative of Myeloid Leukemia, in addition to CLL. Anyone have a similar experience?
