A person should avoid habits which injure a person's body. Sugar, alcohol, and other items can harm a person's body which will cause a cancer to thrive in an unhealthy body. Eaating healthy and exerciing can help strengthen a person's body to fight cancer. Exercising does strengthen a person's body so this should be managed at a rate a person can do. Pacing yourself so you do not stress or stain is important. I visit the gym 3 times a week to get my 150 minutes of exercise and do tasks at my property to supplement my exercise plan. I am also type 2 diabetic so I have to eat healthy.

During early stages of CLL, doctors often recommend "watch and wait" before starting treatment. This approach helps avoid unnecessary side effects while monitoring disease progression through regular blood tests that track:

• Lymphocyte count changes
• Red blood cell levels (anemia)
• Platelet counts (thrombocytopenia) Show Full Answer

During early stages of CLL, doctors often recommend "watch and wait" before starting treatment. This approach helps avoid unnecessary side effects while monitoring disease progression through regular blood tests that track:

• Lymphocyte count changes
• Red blood cell levels (anemia)
• Platelet counts (thrombocytopenia) When treatment becomes necessary, there are several options that can help slow disease progression:

• Targeted therapy drugs (like ibrutinib, acalabrutinib, venetoclax)
• Combination treatments
• Immunotherapy

These treatments are typically less likely to cause side effects compared to traditional approaches. The decision about when to start treatment should be made together with your healthcare team based on your specific situation and genetic markers.
