After 20 years with myeloma and being well controlled with Lenalidamide for the last 5 years things have changed suddenly. A sudden dip in blood results necessitated a bone marrow and low and behold I now also have CLL. I have just started on Obinutuzomab and will add chlorambucil when I return from a holiday next month.

Hi Paul. Lovely to hear from you but not necessarily under the circumstances. There are plenty of old hands in the CLL world who I'm sure will be along shortly!
Hallo Paul. I am hoping your CLL will be a compliant travelling partner on your long medical journey. Wishing you all the best. Jig
