Is bone pain in the collar, legs, and breast concerning after 5 years of CLL remission with clear blood counts?
It's great that your CLL has been in remission for 5 years and your recent blood counts were clear. However, bone pain is something worth discussing with your oncologist, even with good test results.
While bone pain isn't listed as a typical CLL symptom, it's important to monitor any new or persistent discomfort. CLL can sometimes cause aches and pains, and treatments can also lead to similar side effects.
What you should do:
Contact your oncologist to report this bone pain, especially since it's affecting multiple areas (collar bone, legs, and breast area). They may want to:
* Evaluate whether this is related to your CLL
* Check if it could be a side effect from past treatments
* Rule out other causes
* Determine if any additional testing is needed
Don't wait until your next scheduled appointment if the pain is new, worsening, or affecting your daily activities. Your healthcare team needs to know about changes in how you're feeling, even when blood work looks good.
