Hi! My husband is currently being diagnosed with CLL age 55

Had a routine blood test with WBC at 17,000

Then doctor said Probably CLL sent us to Oncologist

Oncologist did Flow and called to say positive

Waiting on FISH test

My husband does not feel one bit sick

All other blood work was normal

No swollen lymph nodes

No swelling in spleen

This is just so crazy and unexpected.

Is there an average time for symptoms to set in ?

Doctor did FISH test a week ago. Still waiting for results

Any feedback with personal experiences is much appreciated!
