I'm in the 4th stage of CLL and I am not having any chemo or anything else done to prolong my life. I just want to be somewhat comfortable until I succumb to respiratory arrest or any other vital organs that are failing to end my waiting for my demise to take away the pain and uncertainty.
Love you all and may God bless you for your work in this field of medical science.

Thank you Soultime12. I am having a rather large lymph node on my neck and I will try some of these tips that I read about. I am seeing my Oncologist in September. Thank you again..
You're welcome Marilyn. Hope that one or 2 of the methods help you and you get some relief. If not, may not be a bad idea to call your oncologists just to let them know. Have a wonderful rest of your day:)
If anyone is on meds for CLL and want to try the natural route as well, be sure to let your pharmacist know . There may be some interaction between the drugs and the natural products.
Wishing you peace in your decision.
