Newly Diagnosed with CLL
Receiving a diagnosis of CLL can be overwhelming – but you are not alone. While learning new concepts and medical terms may feel daunting, it’s important to remember that chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) / small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) is a slow-growing cancer. In most cases, there is plenty of time to understand the disease and explore your options at your own pace.
CLL Society is here to help with educational resources and support services. We cannot wait to welcome you into our community of fellow patients and care partners who are ready to support you.
Take a deep breath, and let’s get you started on the right path. We are all in this together.
