Is it the time for initial treatment?
As I previously stated, my wife was diagnosed with CLL in 2020. Her markers are 13q deletion, 12 trisomy, and TP53, with IGHV muted. She is still in W&W form. So far, I've learned via reading literature and numerous posts about lymphocyte doubling time, lactate dehydrogenase, and lymph nodes. Her lymphocyte

Reply to issues with Spleen
Hi, I agree with most of these comments on here that the enlargement of your spleen is an indication perhaps that you are ready for some form of treatment, not removal. I had chemotherapy in 2020 and my spleen was massive. After a treatment cycle of FCR for 6 months and neutropenia sepsis for 10

The bumpy journey of a relapsed CLL with a weird and confusing chest CT scan
Due to my poor blood picture, it was decided that I should start treatment (
Rituximab
and venetoclax) asap and the lung situation monitored and hopefully respond to treatment as there was discussion it could be cll in the lungs.

uMRD 6
I have been living for the one year point on V plus O to get the clonal sequence uMRD6 bone marrow test done so I could decide if I wanted to continue with a Venetaclax. Technically, I consider myself partially treated rather than relapsed or refractory, because I only received three of the six cycles

Wife getting MMR vaccine booster - isolate or not?
I'm an SLL patient, 55 years old, now about 2.5 years into remission after 6 FCR treatments. I just recovered from a recent (and thankfully mild) bout of shingles. My shingles was so mild that my GP wasn't convinced it actually was shingles! She had me tested for herpes zoster antibodies, and for good

Rituximab
Im about to have my first infusion of
rituximab
. Can anyone who has been on it tell me if they've had many infections as a result? And have they cut out certain foods that are known to be risky i.e paté, soft cheeses etc?

CLL Society interview - Dr. Shahzad Mustafa on What it Means to be Immunocompromised for Patients with CLL/SLL January 13, 2023
- How do monoclonal antibody therapies like
rituximab
and obinutuzumab affect the immune response? Anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies like
rituximab
and obinutuzumab are commonly used therapies for treating CLL/SLL. They target the CD20 protein that is expressed on the surface of all B cells.

hu CAR-T 19 IL-18 4th Generation Clinical Trial 90 Day Check-up With All of My Favorite Tests
It's been a long time since I have received a MRD negative diagnosis, 13 years to be exact, after my FCR treatment. All of the other treatments didn't require a BMB to confirm a negative reading, I had a few remissions, but they were just on paper. My blood counts were good, and I felt fine, but a relapse
