10 days ago I had an excision biopsy on my right axilla. A lymph node was skillfully removed under local anaesthetic.
My consultant at RMH called to tell me that I still have CLL (of course) but there is no evidence of transformation!
So relieved and the current treatment with Venetoclax and Ritiximab can continue.
I seem to responding well. All but one swollen node on my neck gone and armpits (surgery not withstanding) are also back to normal.

Such great news and what a relief.
I have endured that wait three times now and I know how anxious you will have been. Relax and get on with your life.
