Hi, I'm in the UK, I'm Scottish but live in the south of England, very happy family man and successful business man. I was diagnosed with CLL 9 weeks ago and I'm coping fine....no really, I am.
I just don't know anyone else with this stuff and don't know what to expect....other than I'm going to be just fine.
I'm a pragmatic sort of a guy and so 'my fight' is threefold
1. Reconnect with my maker
2. Change diet including daily wheatgrass shots
3. Qigong (chee gong) every day
The doctor said "come back in September....this could go on for years without treatment"....I'm okay with that and I'm not looking for answers or solutions (unless of course youve just been handed the miracle cure!), I just want to hear from someone who is in the same boat....you out there?
thanks.

Hi lawand. Just checking through the forum and saw that no one replied to your post. I am familiar with CLL. When my father had ALL, I did a lot of reading about Leukemias. Yes, you could live for many years without CLL causing you any major problems. How are you doing now?

Hi there,
Thank you so much for your reply and view, I really appreciate it.
I have in fact had many, mnay replies, not sure how that doesn't appear....has an administrator removed them?
I have had a lot of kind and great advice and the forum has really helped me come to terms and toughen up. I feel strong and positive about the future thanks
Best
Lawman

Hi Lawand....we are both newly diagnosed with Cll....so I can appreciate most of what you are going through. Im curious about your daily qugong and wheatgrass....can you give me additional info on that? Also....we were living in southern England for two years.....not far outside of Reading....so we have something in common there too! As a matter of fact...it was only weeks after we returned to our home in Canada that I received my diagnosis....not the most joyful homecoming present.
Anyways...hope to hear from you and best wishes.
