So it sounds like your husband is seeing a very slow rise in ALC

(we usually suggest tracking ALC or Lymph# instead of WBC, since the WBC will include far more "noise" that is not related to CLL than the ALC / Lymph#). Since most CLL experts won't start treatment based on ALC or WBC, then his doctor will likely watch the trends and causes of his anemia.

For anyone interested in reviewing the reasons to start treatment- here is a pinned post that has several videos of CLL experts explaining their criteria.
