Financial Resources for Cancer Care

Many individuals diagnosed with CLL and SLL face a variety of stressors after being diagnosed, one of which is often the financial strain.

CAR-T Therapy

Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy is a potent cellular immune treatment that genetically trains an individual’s immune system (specifically, the T-cells, a type of white blood cell) to both recognize and attack cancerous cells.

Recognizing When it is Time to Treat

Most people who have been diagnosed with CLL or SLL have no symptoms initially and are usually advised that no treatment is necessary upon diagnosis

Integrative Medicine

Integrative medicine is a patient-centered, evidence-informed field of comprehensive cancer care that uses mind-body practices, natural products, and lifestyle modifications from different traditions alongside conventional cancer treatments.

Autoimmune Disorders

Autoimmune disorders occur when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks and damages
healthy cells.

Preventing Infections

People with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) are at higher risk of developing infections due to having weakened immune systems.

Monoclonal B-Cell Lymphocytosis

MBL is a condition where there is an accumulation of abnormal B-cells in the blood. B-cells, also known as B-lymphocytes, are a type of white blood cell that makes antibodies to fight infections.

Managing Symptoms

Most people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) at the time of diagnosis have no obvious symptoms and are often diagnosed based on the results of a routine blood test.

Emotional Impact of Living with Cancer

Receiving a cancer diagnosis is a challenging and emotional experience that can trigger a range of emotions including sadness, anxiousness, worry, anger, disbelief, denial, and confusion.
