Thank you for telling your story! It gives me hope! I'm a 3 year lung cancer survivor and was just told by my doctor now I have CLL. Hope your still doing well!
I am a chronic lymphocytic leukemia patient suffering since one year. Every thing is going on well after eating tablet ibrutinib. One thing I am noticing that my bodyweight is decreasing slowly. Will anyone advise and suggest that why there is decrease in weight.
@@Zooey413the way I think of is as a halfway point 😊 so fully half will live longer than that. I have a friend who has survived 17 years with CML and two others on the cancer forum I read, almost 20 years each with CLL ❤ and another friend literally 50 years with lymphoma, don't know which one
"Rare but potentially serious side effects include an abnormal heartbeat, chest pain, and other heart problems. Because of these possible side effects, if IL-2 is given in high doses, it must be done in a hospital." I guess that explains why every oncologist doesn't just use Car-T Cell therapy on everyone who has CLL! But if you're dying, what is there to loose?

Most people do survive it
ironic how the least aggressive cancer has no cure
But I thought the life expectancy was 10 years after diagnosis?
