I h...Hang in there... hopefully things got better.<br /><br />I have CLL and been on the Cal101 trial at Stanford since April of 2011. I had severe adenopathy (very large lymph nodes in my abdomen, the size of a basketball), white blood level around 100,000 and over 80% of my bone marrow filled with leukocytes. I have had very good success with this trial, and my adenopathy is almost gone, my blood levels are around 6,000 and bone marrow is reversing. After being admitted to the hospital three times in 2011, I have higher, almost normal levels of platelets, hemoglobin, neutrophyls and leukocytes. I have had some GI issues for a year due to chemo, but other than that, I have been in good health since Dec '11. If you have CLL and can get on the trial, I would recommend it. <br /><br />- MattMatthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11217654942085499539noreply@blogger.com
