Hi Happiness and welcome to the forum.

Your post is a little cryptic. Could you tell us who ‘he’ is and a little more detail please.

Is this your husband who is on ‘Watch & Wait’ with a WBC of 48,000 and you’re wondering what kind of foods he should eat?

Of course he should have an ice cream (unless he’s diabetic or lactose intolerant) of course! A sensible balanced diet is best and as much exercise as he can manage.

Best wishes,

Newdawn

You can restrict personal information to this community only by going to the bottom of the post and changing the default from everyone to community only so that it doesn't show up on google or social media.

Newdawn has already given you the advice that is pretty standard - a balanced diet and exercise. Anything that improves overall health is good, but there are no magic foods or approaches to dealing with this diagnosis, and a few indulgences can do wonders for our overall mental well being.

The only advice I would add is to be sure that "he" is seeing a hematologist familiar with CLL if possible. You don't mention your location. If you add that in a post introducing yourself and giving a few details others here will be better able to advise you while considering the realities of the medical system in your country.

Hei

You appear to be quite new here not sure what you mean in it but Newdawn is right. Balanced diet.

It is my husband. We live in mi

MI?

I never had restrictions on diet. Everything in moderation.

Does he see a CLL expert or hematologist oncologist? What tests has he had and what are his markers? Hopefully he will be on Watch and Wait (W&W) for many years. I had no symptoms for many years. Just go on and live life and keep up with check ups.

Hi, welcome.....the more info you share, the better the answers. If you restrict your post, then you will have more privacy. Do you live in Michigan? We live in Wisconsin.....We are assuming your husband has CLL.....this is the right place to be to ask questions!! Lots of expert help, based on current research!
