CLL

My journey started in May of 2019. Through blood tests, my PCP suspected blood cancer. A BMB showed 70% affected, and I started treatment with my spleen enlarged at 21 cm.

I finished treatment in July 2019. CLL came back at the end of 2023, with 20% affected and platelets at 60. I started treatment in January 2024.

I was hospitalized in March 2024 with diverticulitis and ascites. Treatment continued until June 29, 2024. Since that time, I’ve been fighting with extremely low blood pressure. We stopped Spironolactone and Furosemide, thinking that was causing it, but to no avail.

I am going for another CT scan this week. Prayers to all.
