Hi All,
I was hoping to draw on your knowledge, wisdom and experience in dealing with CLL.
I was diagnosed in 7/2008 and for almost 11 years was doing quite well but 3 months ago my spleen started to get enlarged, wbc were 76K and swollen lymph nodes to say the least.
I had my first dose of Gazyva or Obinutuzumab was a month ago and have recently taken 2 doses of Leukeran as well. I was only able to take the initial dose of Gazyva due to a reaction to the medication.
Initially after the chemo treatment my spleen felt much better, meaning no pain or throbbing and my wbc dropped from 76k to 16K. I did have a ultrasound done on Friday and am awaiting hearing for my MD on Tuesday. But now I can feel the pressure and uncomfortable feeling with my spleen again.
I am doing twice daily castor oil packs over the spleen, added dandelion tea 3 times a day, reishi mushroom twice a day along with CBD-A tincture, turmeric 825mg and EGCG 725mg
So, I was hoping this community could help me with figuring somethings out:
I heard of the 10:1 ratio of Curcumin to EGCG but which to which and what are the doses of each.
The spleen is swollen so what has been others experience in terms of its recovery and can it recover to "normal" on its own?
So, any and all feedback would be much appreciated!
