I Don't Understand What The Numbers Mean

Hello all and thank you for allowing me to join this group! I was diagnosed with CLL one year ago after my PCP noticed that my while cell count was a little high after being treated for a bad infection in my finger. She watched my bw for 3 months before sending me to a Hematologist, who gave me the diagnosis. This doctor told me that I don't need any treatment and I see her every 3 months for bw and a physical exam, checking my lymph nodes. My white cell count has gone from 11 up to 27 in a… read more

Has Anyone Had Any Bone Issues With CML, ALL, AML, CLL?

I ask because I had an MRI recently for my shoulder. I've got some tears in my rotator cuff muscles which was the basic reason for the MRI but they noted some lesions in the humerus. Given my history they said it was possibly leukemic infiltration or bone infarction. Not sure if that is a serious problem or not. I gather it could be part of degenerative bone disease and age related. Just curious as to whether anyone else has had this.
