New to Chronic leukemia

[Wowo23]

Hi all. I'm new to all this and hoping to connect with ppl that understand what I'm going thru.

I lost my right leg to bone lesion, failed bone transplants and osteomyelitis. Doc have always bee looking for in your face cancer cause. Everything with me has been borderline. It's been confusing for all I think because I stay slightly anemic and once in a while I get a left shift with my white count. Especially immature granulocytes. Then they dropped back down. Recently, I've been very tired and have horrible pressure and pain under and around my left ribs. Feels full when I bend forward, but sometimes the back and side make me cry the pain gets bad. I recently had a CT and it shows multiple hypodense lesions with either infectious or inflammatory casue. It also said it's best to follow up with an ultrasound to rule out neoplastic disease.

The pain gets so bad. My RBC and platelets are low and was told that's not a good sign. I'm scheduled with my oncologist in 3 weeks.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Wowo, so sorry you are going through and have gone through a lot of medical situations that are tough and that can be so confusing to sort out.

I notice you have been posting about your Pernicious Anemia. Is there any particular reason you have been given to think you have Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia?

Have there been any tests run to suggest that is the case and do you have the results you can share?

You say you are to see an oncologist and that a CT showed hypodense lesions with no specific cause, but two possibilities given. Nothing you have said would suggest you have Chronic Lymphocytic leukemia, that is why the questions.

When you have seen the oncologist, please let us know if your diagnosis is CLL. We are here each of us with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, to support, share, and educate ourselves and each other.

Here's, hoping you get some clear answers from the oncologist and healing can begin.
