CLL/SLL

Was diagnosed with blood cancer a couple of months ago, no cure but treatment is available. I don’t really feel that bad apart from severe tiredness and painful neck glands.

  • Hello Ableone

    I'm sorry to hear that you were recently diagnosed with CLL. It's understandable that this may have been difficult news to hear but hopefully you have lots of support around you from family, friends and the hospital team. 

    It's good to hear that you're coping with things at the moment. Hopefully this will continue and things will improve for you over the coming weeks and months. 

    We do have some information about CLL on our website but if there's anything you'd like to talk through with one of our nurses you're most welcome to give them a call. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. You might also like to check out the Blood Cancer UK website. 

    Keep in touch Abelone and let us know how you're managing. 

    Best wishes,

  • Starting to get a bit down as there is no respite from my painful glands, don’t seem to hear much from the professionals about what to do. Bad enough being told you have blood cancer and not knowing what to do next is kinda depressing
