Newly Diagnosed with CLL
Welcome to the club that no one wanted to join. A diagnosis of CLL can be overwhelming. It can be made even more difficult by the need to understand multiple new concepts and to master new medical terminology. Rather than feeling overwhelmed, we recommend that you move slowly and bite off small pieces of the information that you will need to help you. One good thing in CLL is that you will almost always have time to become more expert!
Let’s get you started in the right direction.
