Had bloods done again for him to look at. He took details &amp; we discussed options (i had said what i knew &amp; had read about)... He believes i&#39;ve probably had CLL undiagnosed for a couple years. As with most its watch and wait initially with a CT scan booked to check my lymph nodes in the next 2-3 weeks. I have to return in 2 months (late October) for another bloodtest &amp; chat with him &amp; obviously discuss CT scan results. He doesn&#39;t think at present anything will be done for a couple years but did ask about brothers/sisters for Bone Marrow matching. I discussed the extreme tiredness &amp; night sweats &amp; how hot i often feel &amp; said maybe i should listen to my body a bit more &amp; refrain from work when i&#39;m too exhausted. I&#39;ve always put this down to the Crohn&#39;s disease i have (certain days i go into work &amp; struggle to stay awake at my keyboard). All i&#39;ve to do now is tell my family still :( then i guess i can rest easy &amp; learn to live with it like i&#39;ve done with my Crohn&#39;s for 25 odd years.
