A member asked:

My mom diagnosed with cll and m really worried for her . rbc count is fine so far . doc suggested chemo therapy . best solution ? coral calcium helps?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sorry about Mom: Forget the coral calcium -- you'd be rewarding shameless liars by giving them your money. Prognosis in CLL depends on the flow cytometry results -- it can be trivial or aggressive, and here the pathologist plays a key role.
