Hi Margaret, I am 80 yrs young, have been disavowed with cll for over 15 yrs, chemo twice, 3A kidney disease, I would recommend that you begin planning your 100th birthday gala, if you need any planning tips I will be glad to share my plans! Life is precious, Seize the Day!πŸ€—πŸ˜‡

Margaret, I agree with Sean and I know you do too. What has happened to make you feel like the end is near? I know your doctor stated you would be on your meds indefinitely, so is it having stage 3 kidney disease? Some things can be done to slow down kidney damage and I hope you talk to your doctor about them, if that's the issue.
I am sad you are feeling like this... You are usually quite the opposite. I know we all have our good days and bad and I hope this is just a bad day. I'm here for you girlfriend and will be praying for you. Sending hugs. 😊

Hi Margaret9, I was diagnosed with AML at age 75 in 2020. Too old for transplant so I have been basically been on Vidaza IV for the past 42 months and doing well. Tried Venclexta at first and it put me in the hospital so no more. Everyday is a blessing, Dick
