Hello everyone! I just want to say thank you to everyone for keeping this community active. I’m a 26 year old female and was just diagnosed with CLL but don’t have any symptoms. I have the deletion of 13q and am IGHV-mutated. My CT scan showed everything was normal. Even though my anxiety went through the roof while waiting for the CT scan results to come back I wasn’t too worried because of you guys! Your posts have been so helpful in helping me stay calm. I was scared this diagnosis meant I wouldn’t be able to have kids one day or enjoy life how I want to but reading your posts on successful pregnancies & other important life events, I know this is nothing to fear 
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! AND GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE BATTLING THIS AND OTHER STUPID CANCERS!! <3 (And I’m also so happy medicine is advancing quickly for this disease!!)
Thank you! : Hello everyone! I just want to say... - CLL Support
Thank you!
welcome tinylobito! glad you found this group. good luck to you on your journey.
thank you!! Good luck on your journey too!
I have the same markers and was on W&W 12 years and felt great. Hardly got sick and I was a teacher before my dx. Just live ur life and try not to get anxious with each check up. After the second year I relaxed about that.
We are here for ya! 💕
Thank you! 💗
So glad you found us! Your age and health mean you’re going to be breaking records for long life! Enjoy it all!!!
Love the way you put it thank you!
I also have the same markers as you. Dx in 2016 but had mbl since 1985. Welcome! We can W and W together .
wow such a long time!
I love your balanced point of view. You too are an inspiration.
Like Dr. BK says, "WE are all in this together".

Thank you! Yes we are!
Ugh on being sooooo young to receive a CLL diagnosis! 
I have your same markers, and from diagnosis to treatment, I was in watch and wait almost 22 years. I was 37 when diagnosed, but my doctor had been watching an enlarged lymph gland since I was about ~33. The medical advances have been tremendous, and as my oncologist kept telling me, the longer I could wait until treatment, the more options I would have available to me. Same for you...praying for a cure in the not too distant future!
I know at first it was scary to find out it's more common with older folks. 22 years wow that's amazing! Thank you I hope we can get a cure soon!
Yes, it is scary, and it is easy to feel you are dealing with a ticking time bomb. I started treatment last year and definitely am routing for a long remission...and a cure! Take care of yourself!
Watch and wait 22 years that's amazing, i pray i can go that long.
I pray the same for you!
Thank you Lisa🙂
Totally agree with you. I am fairly new too and this site keeps me as sane and as balanced as I can be 😊
I’m 58 and was diagnosed at 40.... here i’m 18 years after! Keep calm LLC isn’t the end!!!
These are the stories that make me 😊.
We have to smile, never give up!! We will be stronger than LLC, we must kill LLC instead of LLC kill us!!! I love to belong to this group when we are down there is always someone to make us smile....
Thank you i need to hear words of encouragement i just lost my 2 dogs recently sushi and Bruno and I'm devastated i just want to be happy again. And thinking abbot this stupid disease doesn't make it easier.
Wow what an amazing attitude, you will have a wonderful full life with hopefully some of the best medical treatment on the horizon. Go get em......
