I have had CLL in w&w status for 18 months but with continued weight loss doctor started me on Calquence 6 weeks ago. No weight gain as yet. Does anyone have experience with gaining back wanted weight with CLL?

Hi Healthsearcher, I've been W&W for 4 years. Just before/during and after diagnosis, I lost over 40 lbs. About 2 years later, my weight stabilized. Since then, I've gained back 10 to 15 lbs. I'm at a good weight now. I can gain weight but lose weight quickly if I "forget" to pay attention to my diet. Good luck with your treatment.
