Can someone please explain to me why am i terrified of treatment? Im dreading the day they tell me it's time😢. I wish they would come out with the cure.

Lydia, do you have similar feelings about other medical treatments? Perhaps this Mayo Clinic article might help you understand that what you are going through?

Note in particular that "Stress due to an illness. Having a health condition or serious illness can cause significant worry about issues such as your treatment and your future."

Neil this is exactly what I'm going through, you hit it right on the nail "stress and anxiety due to an illness" i can't stop obsessing about cll and how it will affect me. I get up scared thinking about it every morning and have to medicate to calm down. I think about it all day and i want to stop this madness. I am getting therapy and it's slowly helping. Thank you Neil.
