On Monday I was diagnosed with CLL. On a W&W with 3 monthly blood test. Not sure what to do now. Concerned how I should change my lifestyle. To be told you have a incurable cancer but no treatment needed yet feels completely weird. I feel I have no safety net.
would love to hear from other people with the same condition. How they dealt with there new outlook on life. Should I change my diet. How to not over overboard been concerned about infections.
You have Cancer is a word I never thought I’d hear.
Hi Missy61 and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm sorry to read about your recent diagnosis and, although I don't have the same type of cancer as you, I understand how scary it is to hear those words "you have cancer".
The online community is divided up into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the CLL, SLL and HCL group which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support from others with this diagnosis.
I'm also adding a link to a blog which gives lots of information on how to find support within the online community.
It would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and proposed treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
If you have any difficulty navigating the community just drop me a reply and I'll be pleased to help
