Hi all. I was diagnosed with Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) 8 years ago and generally, my blood levels have been stable, however, last year the lymphocyte count had increased a bit. My latest blood tests in October were significantly higher, with the lymphocyte count increasing almost fourfold. I attended hospital last week to see my consultant, who now advises a move to treatment. She has been very thorough and informative and the treatment is likely to be Obinutuzumab in combination with Venetoclax. My heallth since the end of August has not been great, so I.m relieved in a sence that the ubderlying issue is the Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL).
Clearly, I’m anxious about starting treatment and am also a bit concerned about what impact this might have on our travel plans for April next year, when we hoping to visit the Dutch bulb fields. Therefore, if you have experience of this treatment and any implications for travel, I’d love to hear them. Thanks
