Acceptance - just been diagnosed with CLL

I have just been told I have CLL and am on watch and wait .. there is no history of cancer in my family so very shocked 

  • A very warm welcome to the Cancer Chat community Lindyloo74 although I'm sorry to hear you've been diagnosed with CLL.

    Finding out you have cancer can bring about so many thoughts and emotions but I'm glad you've joined us as so many of our members will know what you're going through, so you are not alone, and hopefully you will receive some support and advice from them soon.

    I do hope all the information our nurses gave you on your other post has been useful, but if you'd like to talk any of this through with them you can do so on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very easy to talk to and will do all they can to address any other worries and concerns you may have at this time.

    We're thinking of you Lindyloo74 and sending all our support your way.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator

    thank you 

  • Why doesn’t my family understand how hard it is to accept ?
