Cll/sll on watch & wait

4 Replies

Hi everyone am glad to be joining this forum. Was diagnosed about 8 months ago as i had cysts in my breast and a core biopsy revealed cll/sll. Obviously this was quite a shock as i felt really well. The good news is i had small signs of the disease in my chest stomach and groin but no where else, so i was on a watch and wait. Just been for another check up and i have swollen nodes in my head, neck, under arms and groin. Not massive lumps but noticeable and ache abit. I had none of these 8 months ago. The consultant is sending me for another ct scan. Should i be worried. 😯 Is this normal. Getting a bit paranoid now. Can anyone help.

Thanks

My feeling is if possible see at least 3 different doctors from different institutions. I don’t know where you live but there’re are top institutions in most major cities. If you tell me where you live I can make some suggestions but that will also come up I had a Google search There are many factors to look at before making a judgement on whether you should worry ...scans bloodwork and maybe a biopsy if needed.

I hope this helps. Best of luck

I agree with Toothdoctor to get at least a second opinion especially if treatment is mentioned. You didn’t say that you had FISH so that would be necessary before any treatment. Keep us posted.
