Hello to everyone.My mother has CLL. She is 66 now (diagnozed at the age of 62). She is taking Bendamustine monotherapy and was in remission about 3 years after treatment. Now she has one enlarged lymphnode in her armpit, her hematologist said that CLL is slowly coming back.
Leukocites 7.7
Lymphocites 52%
Everything else in her lab results and ultrasound is fine.
My question is - how long does it take for CLL to "come back fully", and are the conditions to start treatment again the same as the first time?
In my country now is available Imbruvica (from recently), and the hematologist said probably her next treatment will be with Imbruvica.
