Good news

[JanEyre]

I had my Pet/Cat scan at last and the good news is I do not have Ritchers Transformation .

My night sweats have decreased although I am getting very hot at nights and also getting hot sweats during the day. As I am 75 it is not menopause.

My bloods are going up both white cells and leukocytes I have another blood test next week and my haematologist will ring me.

Hopefully I will stay on ww for now.

I hope you are all staying safe

Hi JanEyre,

What a relief.

Just great news for you.

Hopefully you’re keeping well.

Good luck with your blood test next week.

Take care and stay safe.

Kind regards from Josephine from Australia 🙏❤️😊

Thank you Josephine, hope you are also keeping well. I am also in Australia

I think we are very lucky with our doctors and health workers.

Also of course everyone doing the right thing to beat the corona virus. We are indeed the lucky country.

Cheers Jan

Thanks Jan.

You’re so right, we are definitely living in the lucky country.

We came out from Italy in 1957 for a better life. Mum and Dad used to say that they came to Australia for a better opportunity for their children. If Italy offered what Australia had we would still be there. They never regretted it, nor did us children.

You take care and stay safe.

Kind regards Josephine 🙏🤞❤️

What a relief! I know exactly what it feels like having gone through that a month ago. X

[JanEyre in reply to Poodle2]

It is such a worry waiting for the scan.

I hope you also had a good outcome. xx

[Poodle2 in reply to JanEyre]

Thanks, Jan. I had an ultrasound biopsy done in the middle of the lockdown here in the UK. It is "just" my CLL. I was so relieved, it was terribly stressful and scary.

Terrific! 🎉

Are u sure it's not menopause? I am 65 and been getting hot flashes since 42. My experts say some women suffer from them and never get rid of them. I am unfortunately one of those unlucky women. Acupuncture and homeopathy helps me.

I've only experienced one night sweat. It was awful.

Do you know the difference between hot flashes and nite sweats? 💕

[JanEyre in reply to GMa27]

Hi GMa27

I have never experienced hot flashes before as I was on HRT for many years

Due to a medical condition.

I have had many night sweats where you need to change your bedding in the night. The hot flashes are different with no sweating and also have them during the day. I don’t think it is anything to do with cll and will see my doctor if they continue.

I hope yours improve and you keep well.

Jan😘😘

Glad u know the difference...some do not. Can be confusing.

My hematologist for 11 years always asked me if I had night sweats. I finally asked why when I had one. It is a symptom they used to help stage (Rai) and decide if ready for treatment. Since I only had one in my 11th year of W&W, I didn't really pay attention. So when I was ready for treatment, she staged me at 3. If I had night sweats, she would have said 4 and probably would of had treatment earlier.

I found that many CLLers over the years, had night sweats. I was lucky not to have them.

It will be interesting for you to find out if they aren't related to ur CLL since it is a common side effect of NHL/CLL.
