Hi I a writting on behalf my very good friend.

She had ultrasound few days back which showed enlarged lymph nodes now on both sides of her neck. 6 months ago they were only on one side. She also told by her endocrinologist to see hematologist. No names or recommendations. So I am looking for her for recommendations. I thought you guys could be a big help. We live in Cleveland Ohio. Any names of good doctors in Cleveland area?

You live in driving distance to one of the best CLL centers in the country. Ohio State Medical Center in Columbus. I sure someone who goes there will chime in with doctor information.

Follow up with your doctor to be sure if it's CLL or the infection. Let us know how you do.

Cleveland Clinic! Right at your door.

Definitely Ohio State University. My sister lives in Columbus. If I need another opinion, I will go up (live in FL) to Columbus. I am going to Moffitt Center in Tampa in Feb/March for second opinion.

Good luck in your journey!
