Welcome!

Do you know if you have CLL or SLL ... B cell NHL is a big grouping of lymphomas, of which CLL/SLL is one.

In my case it took 14 years before I needed treatment, so I think you have a ways to go... if your diagnosed with CLL...

So, without more information its a hard to answer your questions at the moment...

Sounds like a Richter's transformation from CLL to DLBCL... I had the same experience... very rare.
