Hi Laba74

-

Welcome to the group that no one wanted to join. We hope we can help you, just ask.

-

If you want a syllabus for learning lots of information about CLL, please read: healthunlocked.com/cllsuppo...

That will take several days / weeks to digest all the links and write ups, but it is a gold mine of good info.

Hello Laba and welcome, I am not sure whereabouts you are in North Yorkshire but I live in Bridlington. Perhaps you will message me since it is possible we are close. Pre covid it was my intention to form a CLL support group locally but this was put on hold due to the pandemic. Hopefully we may get started this year. Alice x

Hello and welcome to a fellow North Yorkshire lass,

hi Lana, it’s good (but bad!) to know I’m not alone.

I live in Harrogate and have only just been diagnosed - quite a shock -and felt very alone although my partner is a tremendous rock. We are just about getting over the realisation of what it means to have CLL but I’m needing the experiences of others who are perhaps further down the road with this complaint.

What should I expect? I realise we will all experience differently but there must be some common symptoms - for instance how do, and what symptoms arise as the disease matures? What is the progression, how debilitated should I expect to get? I know the timescales are different for us all, but I assume there are things that are common to us all?

You’ve probably realised that I’m a CLL Virgin! Never thought I’d be a virgin again!!!!! So any and all information will be very gratefully received.

So, back to reroofing the house, digging up the veg patch, and relaying the entire drive before decorating six rooms, sorting the garage and putting a new engine in the car. That should keep me busy this morning . . . . . .
