So I Have CLL My Doctor Says We Should Watch And Wait My WBC Is At 19 At What Point Should I Be Having Some Kind Of Treatment
My CLL is in my marrow just wondering should I get a second opinion
Thanks
Victor
19 is not a high number at all. I was at 110 before I began treatment. Everyone is different but I’m now in remission over a year with my CLL.
Mine is only WBC 11 my oncologist said 300,000 or more
My last count was 137,000, doctor ordered scan and marrow biopsy and said time for treatment! I’m still feeling good except for fatigue so I’m reluctant to treat it???? What do you all think????
I would definitely get a second opinion and see what they say and then you decide which doctor is best for you
Hi Victor,
With any diagnosis of leukemia, it is always wise to get a 2nd opinion and even a 3rd if you want. The WBC should be around 111-14. Are your lymphocytes elevated? Those are the cells that are involved with CLL.
