Question 2

fish test shows 70% trisomy 12 & 77% 3'igh. i have cll. what is significance ?  am 66 y.o. female with recent diagnosis &on watchful waiting.

Accepted Answer

Get a second opinion: Such cytogenetic abnormalities in cll means that your disease may not stay still under watchful waiting. I would suggest that you seek counseling from an expert in cll. These folks are few and far between. So you will need to consider going to a major cancer center that deals with cll.

Question 3

i have cll wbc 32000 - rbc and palnet in normal but appered in the last test atpical lymphocites 18% . can i take any medicine to reduce this prsentag?

Accepted Answer

Don't need to: There is some data out of mayo clinic that green tea extract can lower the WBC count.  However, there is no data that it improves survival. At that level if HGB and platelets normal, there really is nothing to do.  Hope this helps.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) is usually an indolent slowly progressive disease that may take up to 10-15 years before requiring some form of treatment. The WBC count may rise up or  go down depending on many other reasons. Certain tests are used by the hematologist to distinguish a group of patients who may have a more rapidly aggressive course - del17p or unmutated IgVH or Zap70+ and CD38+.

Question 6

i am in watch and wait status with cll. all of my test results, including red blood cells and platelets, are normal with the exception of lymphocytes which fluctuate between 22 and 26. i do not have any symptoms. do you agree with my watch and wait?

Accepted Answer

: The best doctor to answer this is your oncologist, who knows your situation the best. If you are unsure, perhaps get a second opinion form another oncologist who can look at all your test results, not just the current ones. Trends in your bloodwork are very important as well. How long have you been diagnosed? There are many factors that influence the treatment decisions. Good luck!
