Specializes in Medical Oncology

Donate what?: Money for a worthy cause you can donate anytime but if you mean blood or organs, I sincerely doubt it. CLL and/or low grade lymphomas are chronic illnesses that will make you ineligible as donor of any tissue (except maybe for research). It's nice of you to think of others, though. Hope you do well.
