Arizona Smith Cielo today and I have a ton of different tests scheduled for tomorrow my PCP really didn't go into details of what they'd be doing to anyone shed some insight into what to expect all I know is she said they'll be several different ones and I'll be there pretty much all day . CT blood work ? Is that when I'll meet with an actual oncologist? I'm clueless and alone rt now

Any responses or personal experiences are very much appreciated

I don't know whether the first three words are auto correct, or??? Does your PCP suspect CLL? Do you have symptoms that are concerning?Without more information it is hard to comment. If you are scheduled for tests all day long, I would guess that labs (blood and urine?) and scans might be among them, but that is just a best guess.

I just saw your other post. What is the diagnosis based on? Did you have a Flow Cytometry (blood) test, or is CLL suspected, but not yet confirmed? Try to not get ahead of yourself. When you have more information there are people here who can help you understand all of it. I'm sure that you are feeling a bit stunned and panicked right now. CLL can be a chronic cancer which many live with for years without needing treatment. I'm one who did need treatment at diagnosis, as I was quite ill at the time. Treatment gave me back my life. That was 17 years ago. Hang in there. The not knowing is worse than getting answers so you can move forward in life.
