Thanks Harry!

Hi Paula. I was first diagnosed with SLL about eleven years ago. When it became CLL, I was treated with Chemotherapy. About five years ago, it returned as CLL Leukemia. Subsequently, I have been treated with daily oral medication and monthly immune system infusions. Currently, I'm stable and my Cancer treatments are on pause. I have two excellent Oncologists. One with the Veterans Administration and one with my private insurance. This gives me a unique perspective about my diagnosis and treatment options.
Bottom line, I can't say with certainty that my current situation is due to prior treatments or is just a normal progression of cancer. On the other hand, I am certain that,without treatments, I would be far worse off.
Bottom line, find a good doctor. Our treatment options improve constantly. Do whatever it takes to improve the quality of your life and maintain a sense of humor.

Hello John, just wondering about the possible long term serious side effects of treatment secondary cancers such as MDS & leukemias. Good luck to you!

Yes, I've have gotten CLL Leukemia, I had stage 4 Lymphoma 7 yrs ago the Lymphoma came back last summer, received morning chemo along with the Lymphoma The Leukemia, I am taking chemo in pill for every day for it, and have to get immune system infusion, I also keep losing my platelets. My prayers go out to you 🙏
