Cll

Hi everyone. I have CLL (chronic lymphatic leukemia). I don't know anyone else with this condition and have no-one to discuss my feelings with. Also I have no idea what I'm entitled to claim as I'm 63 and recently lost my husband. Any help would be great thank you.

  • Hi Sianied,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear of your recent loss - this all must be a lot to deal with and I hope you're getting on as OK as can be.

    I'm glad you've found the forum and hopefully it can be a small support to you. My reply here will give your post a little boost, so a few more people should see it. From the homepage of Cancer Chat you can also use the search bar (at the top of the page) to find other relevant discussions and people to connect with, if you'd like to.

    Regarding practical support, we have some information on our site about financial support, which may be helpful.

    We also have nurses available if you'd like to talk things through with someone. You can reach them on freephone 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    Macmillan also have lots of resources and a helpline in case this is useful.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
