Leukemia - anyone else in same boat?

Ive just joined. Had blood tests and dr has told me I have a precursor for leukemia. Not had it confirmed which one but from blood tests it lookd like MBL for CLL. So technically im prediagnosis and could be for years if not forever. Anyone else the same or similar?

Thanks for reading.

  • Hi Pandora13 and a warm welcome to Cancer Chat, 

    I am sorry to hear you find yourself in this rather unsettling place, being told that you have a precursor for leukaemia without knowing for sure at the moment what the exact diagnosis might be. It's difficult to be in your position in pre-diagnosis potentially for years or forever and I can imagine it might make you a little bit anxious. 

    I hope that you will hear from other members of our community who have been in the same boat before and have found themselves in this situation - it helps sometimes to talk to others who have been told something similar. 

    If you wanted to talk things through or ask questions to one of our nurses, there is a free helpline you can call on 0808 800 4040 - it is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm so don't hesitate to get in touch with them at any point. 

    Best wishes,
