Hi my 25yr old daughter has recently been diagnosed with CLL, she’s just been told by hospital, there is nothing more they can do for her, she has tumours that are appearing in most of her organs i.e brain, both lungs, bowels and kidney and the only thing they can do is try to find clinical trials for her, the way the nhs is I’m not waiting and I’m desperate on a recommended trial that may hopefully save her life. Please can someone help I’m really struggling with the possibility of loosing my baby, she has twins who are 3 and a 10 week old baby that need their mommy
Hi BrummieAnn
I am so sorry to hear about your daughter. It might be a good idea to ring the Macmillan helpline on 0808 808 00 00 to talk to someone about your daughter and they may be able to advise you on any Clinical Trials that might be suitable for your daughter. You could also put the question on our Ask a Nurse section but you will have to wait a couple of days for a reply. Here's the link to that section: Ask a Nurse .
I hope this helps somewhat. Sending you and your daughter hugs. xxx

Hi BrummieAnn sorry to hear this…..
Do check out the link below
…… this is on the Lymphoma Action website.
In Heamatology terms CLL is seen in the same light as Low-Grade Non Hodgkins Lymohomas - yes very confusing…… so Lymphoma Action cover CLL.
They also have a helpline on 0808 808 5555 where you can talk with someone and get support - open every week day from 10 till 3.
BrummieAnn, So sad to hear about your daughter.
I wonder if this might be helpful:
Hope you find something useful,
Mike
