Please take care of your health issue that effects your health. A persons bladder is very hard tissue to damage and it is exposed to many harsh chemicals leaving the body. You should get good information to help you understand the health issue and what your choices are to resolve this concern? I think those bad cells only would attack your bladder to make is a bigger problem. Those bad cells also attack good cells so we have to be careful of not having those bad cells causing other health problems?

I see my leukemia doctor on the 28th and I will be having another biopsy of my bladder on the 30th.

Hopefully your medical team can help to figure that out. I am sorry you are dealing with such difficult situations... your medical professionals may need to put their heads together to have a good answer for you.

I'm just wondering how the chemo for my bladder is affecting my white blood cells.

T-cell LGL leukemia is a rare type of blood cancer that affects the immune system. The "watch and wait" approach you mentioned is common for LGL leukemia when it's not growing quickly or causing severe symptoms. This involves monitoring your blood counts and symptoms regularly.

Treatment options for LGL leukemia typically include medications that modify immune system function, such as:
• Methotrexate (Otrexup)
• Cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan)
• Cyclosporine (Gengraf) New treatment options for LGL leukemia are continuously being developed. You may want to discuss clinical trial opportunities with your healthcare team, as these trials might provide access to newer treatments that could be more effective than current options.
