The future for CLL treatment is likely combinations, but there are more questions than answers at this point. Dr. Lamanna discusses this at ASH 2018 here: cllsociety.org/2019/05/ash-...
See my comments and links to some but not all the combo trial data. Things are moving so fast.
Stay strong

I have been so scared about this very new diagnosis. But the more I read and learn, the more excited I get. I'm young and will see a cure in my lifetime. I WILL be okay. I WILL see my babies grow up.
I'm learning every day that this diagnosis is not a death sentence. It is simply a VERY BIG wake up call to take better care of myself and spend more time appreciating life and my family.
Thank you to all who have a hand in helping to heal us.
