Sorry chromosome 17 not 27!

Hi Emilia. There are set answers as to when one starts with treatment. Generally, your oncologist will be the one to suggest treatment. Every oncologist is different as far as when they decide. Numerous other things play a part as well...spleen enlargement, enlarged lymph nodes, hemoglobin, platelets, lymphocytes increasing , etc etc. Maybe the next time you see your oncologist, inquire with and ask him/her. Don't hesitate to always ask questions of your oncologist:):)

I didn’t ask for when to diagnose CLL but at what level to start treatment

Thanks Robert, I’m trying to do all that! So maybe I will get all good news in November!!! Stay well .

I think the after affects listed may be from people who are very ill who volunteer to take the pills. The people may be so ill that they report ill affects. I started my medication when I was not ill or at stage 0 so I did not have any ill affects since my body was healthy. I think you will not have any issues with medication. Remember to eat healthy and exercise to maintain your health. I take vitamins and supplements to ensure my continued health.
