Welcome, SilverSprings, sorry for your bout of infections/inflammations? Hope the antibiotics do the job.

Do you have CLL? Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is the purview of this forum. It is the place to share and support each other.

I had balloon sinuplasty surgery, on February the 20th of this year, and a little more than s month after. I developed a sinus Infection, then after I got over that, I ended up getting bronchitis. I have moderate to severe asthma, my doctors office wants me to go ahead and get my blood work for the year, but my ENT said that certain levels will be elevated, and he wasn't sure how long before those levels go down, depending on what my regular doctor is looking for. How long should I wait to get my blood work done?

Do you have a diagnosis of CLL?

I am sorry, but, this site is for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia patients.

Your best bet to know about your infection and blood levels is to call your Dr.

Hi SilverSprings,

As cllady has said, this site is exclusively for people affected by CLL which is a blood cancer and therefore our blood cells will act very differently than a non sufferer. It makes general advice inadvisable and you must consult your doctor about this.

In line with our posting guidelines, I am now turning off replies to this post.

Best wishes,

Newdawn
