Newly diagnosed with CLL and wondering what tests to request.
Hi all, I didn't feel well after partial thyroidectomy. Had some teats and was told I have cll. Was told just to watch and be retested every three months. I was tested for CBC and differential. From reading some of these posts, it looks like there is a genetic test available. I have my first appt.

Evorel Patches not sticking!
Hi all. I usually have Estradot patches (Oestrogen only) just moved up to 75mg and a different GP signed off my prescription & put it through as generic. I have therefore ended up with these stupid Evorel patches. They are so enormous! I changed it on Tuesday & today it started lifting up & bagging.
