Hi, my name is Donna and I’m new here. This is my first post. I was diagnosed with CLL in April, 2017, Stage 0, W &W. Anyone from #Alberta?

Welcome! Best I can do is I've visited Alberta. I'm in California. You might want to take a look at cllcanada.ca for information specific to Canada. Also, consider joining CLLPAG.ca / for things specific to Canada.Things are a little different there, as each province has different rules, unlike here in the States. You can't beat stage 0, watch and wait. Hopefully you will stay there for a very long time.

No, I don’t think I would either! They say to expect a cold one this winter.😩. How long have you had CLL? Stage? Any treatment?

That’s great that your Dad is still in the early stages! When was he diagnosed? Best of luck to him!

Diagnosed a year ago but probably had it for a few years before that , looks like it’s the kind that is slow progressing . We have been following Glen Sabins nutrition philosophy
