I would say little organ damage stage 1, medium organ damage stage 2, high organ damage stage 3. I think it is a health experiment to wait and see how much damage a person's body will happen versus get medication to stop organ damage. If you have good medical people then no organ damage will happen because their job is your health. There are doctors who will watch a person go through organ damage as part of their experiment to see how much it takes to kill a person?? I think the cost of medication stops some doctors from prescribing medication versus a person's health or illness?? My medical people submitted a request for a grant to pay for my medication which was great. I think you should ask some questions to your medical people and I hope 100% of your questions are answered. I asked lots of question and I knew 80% of the answers before asking. I only got 60% of my questions answered? I did get my medication with no ill affects (all medications list horrible ill affects.) I hope your future is happy and healthy. Celebrating Long Life (CLL)

• Low Risk: Stage 0
• Intermediate Risk: Stages 1-2
• High Risk: Stages 3-4 Here are the specific stages:

• Stage 0: High lymphocyte count but normal red blood cells and platelets. No swollen lymph tissues.

• Stage 1: Swollen lymph nodes with near-normal blood counts

• Stage 2: Swollen spleen, with possible lymph node/liver swelling. Near-normal blood counts
