AS & CLL diagnosis

Hello

Does anyone else have both?

I have been mild AS for about 30 years and Watch and Wait CLL for 10 years.

My AS has worsened and I am "eligible" for biologics but afraid to take as I am immuno compromised (low IG s#) and afraid the biologics will worsen this and make me need treatment for the CLL.

Anyone out there with similar story.

Also in Ontario Canada and don't think I can afford biologics until I turn 65 in 3 years!

Hi Rosiehiker, thank you for your post. It seems there might not be anyone on here with a similar story at the moment. I wondered whether posting in the CLL Support or CLL America Support communities might get a response? Apologies if this option is not appropriate. Hopefully someone may be able to comment on this soon. Kind regards, Sarah.
