Hi everyone,
Im 59 and recently got referred by A&E to a haematologist who has told me he is almost certain I have CLL. I only went to A&E with an ear infection and have never been to hospital/ GP for decades so you can imagine my shock at getting this news. He says I have a WBC of 23 and have mild Thrombocytopenia which he says is common with the blood disorder.
I rarely drink, never smoked, eat healthily, run 3 times a week. He believes I have had this in me for 12-18 months. Can anyone with CLL please give me any hope or advice as I have to see him next week for a follow up after more blood given and I am totally stressed.
thanks Geoff
