I was told the CLL diagnosis between Christmas and New Year in 2012, so I have just passed the 10th year. After a tricky first year with AIHA (and I was worried the end was close at one stage), I had a splenectomy in Jan 2013 to stop the AIHA. Since then I have had no sign of haemolysis/AIHA. Long may that continue!
And as a bonus, my bloods have surely but steadily improved each 6 months, so much so that unless I am mistaken, my lymphocytes are just back into 'normal' person range.
Despite the pressures on the NHS, my CLL Consultant and her clinical nurse have been brilliant throughout. I can't thank them enough
I hope (despite what is going on in the world) you all have a good New Year and thanks for your support, which has been invaluable
