Diagnosis of leukaemia

I have been diagnosed with leukemia last may. Currently on watch and wait. Prognosis poor. Still feel quite well. To old for stem cell transplant that's the only chance of a cure. Some with my type of Leukemia live for years others only months. No point moaning it is what it is. All came out of the blue took a long time to get diagnosed. Symptoms started in October 2021 diagnosis May 2023.
