Mick here I'm 54 and I got diagnosed with CLL earlier this year.

I wasn't shocked when I found out as I had all the side effects for many years.

Most people in my life were more upset then I was and I reassured them it's not the worst cancer to get.

The main thing to tell yourself is that what you have is treatable where as many other types are not.

I chose the oral chemo drug called Brukinsa and I am 4 days into my treatment and so far so good, also taking Aciclovir and Co-Trimoxazole to help counter the side effects.

If anyone needs a chat just hit me up.
