  • Hello Neil,

    I noticed that you had also posted in Ask the Nurses and just wanted to let you know that our nurses will respond to you in the next few days in the Ask the Nurses topic area. You are also welcome to ring them whenever you want to ask them anything on this free number 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. 

    In the meantime, I thought I would share with you this page on chemotherapy for HCL.

    I hope this helps and that you will get to chat to others here who have been through a similar treatment and who may have some tips for you on the dietary side of things.

    Best wishes,
