Treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)
Knowing the right time to start treatment.
Once doctors know the stage of CLL, they are able to determine an appropriate treatment
plan. With low-risk CLL, they usually take a “watch and wait” approach.
However, if the number of CLL cells in your blood increases, or the number of normal
cells drops, your doctor may advise you to start treatment.
This Web site provides information about the treatment options available for CLL.
Of course, it is up to your healthcare team to decide which may be right for you.
