Thanks for all your help. I needed all your thoughts and advice!

my experience with vitamin D3 (with K2) is good….obviously not a cure for CLL but it protects against viral infections….imo it’s important for CLLers to have VitD levels checked/optimised

I think with the new treatments that can be given in a fixed duration and can put the cll into remission for years that they should end the watch and wait.
