I was diagnosed with CLL 7 years ago and went through chemo for 6 months and now it is in remission. I wish somebody would answer me and tell me what my life expectancy could be

Ghandi had the best answer for us! He said, β€œLive every day as if it is your Last day on Earth!, Learn every Day as if you will Live Forever!” Sic. Only God knows how many Tomorrows we may have! I have had CLL for 22 years and I’m over 84 years old and will never be cured! Count your Blessings and live our Life to its fullest s my guess! God Bless You and all your loved ones! πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Well said Brother Rolland. Only God knows the number of our days. Live for today, laugh and be thankful for each day. A young man 43 just fell over dead from a heart attack last week, he didn't know he even had heart trouble. πŸ’” Let's celebrate our lives now. !! Hugs Shadowman

Unfortunately those of us suffering from leukemia is a terrible surprise none of us were expecting and certainly didn't want, and how long we are in remission if you are hopefully at that stage, does remain unknown, because all of a sudden we developed this cancer, so to remain in remission depends on the treatment you have and any new developments that may come forth, but how long is a piece of string.
