I loved how the patient said “you will die with this, not from this!”

WHAT ABOUT CAR T CELLS TERAPHY ----- IS IT RECOMENDED ON CLL ?

[@seahorse2]

Just started O+V, treatment. Treatment triggered by low RBC and low hemaglobin. Plus 5 infections, together, with pneumonia for a month.

[@robertmorley3609]

I have CLL-LLC. My lymphocytes are around 0.5 x 10^9/L. It's hard to fin any discussion about this condition.

[@davidneumann9653]

In 2020 I got the second shot for covid. Five after the shot my lymph nodes armpits and neck swollen all at the time. At that time I was 54. I have CLL and no ones care how I got it!

[@TrudyContos-gq1bw]

Great question or statement . Let's see if you'll get some answers . CLL is linked to Roundup. So, let's see if it's the vaccine and Roundup because it's becoming an epidemic itself .

[@TrudyContos-gq1bw]

I think the doctors should be documenting who if any of this new wave of CLL ARE VACCINATED OR ROUND UP EXPOSURE? THis can be good information for treatments. I'm sure it must have somenthing to do with the earlier and fast progression or the high risk percentage of CLL more aggressive types and getting to be quite the epidemic . Has EBV been a precursor to this cancer? It sure does state this in NIH?

[@emacro65]

I wonder... If t cell exhaustion is affecting car-t responses, how about trying nivolumab (immunotheraphy) to un exhaust the t celks?

[@joeadams-iv9yb]

yes and i think they found ibrutinib helps the T-cells also.

[@KashanandHaribHkkids]

I am patient of cll since last 3 year Stage binat A No any problem yet No any symptoms My wbc 40 thousands Lymphocytes 75 My age 57 What advice for me please

[@insertnamehere5146]

Get busy livin at aged 57 you are going to be fine and around a long time. Drugs are great at keeping this in check. Don't Google and don't hang around cll forums with people who will try and depress you. With love

[@celiajorge3247]

40 wbc is very low ,

[@novizivot3631]

You are laying to people, it is curable.

[@joeadams-iv9yb]

It looks like to me a couple of people were cured with Car-T therapy.

[@prettygirlzful]

Interesting. And how do you distinguish "cure" from "remission"? Please cite your sources on "cure" rates for CLL. Thanks!

[@SusiGlover-yg5pm]

Fenbendazole - Joe Tippens Protocol.

[@TrudyContos-gq1bw]

I was thinking about taking this but it's becoming scarse

[@mdrahamatullahmd4574]

I am a cll patient. I am battling with this fatal disease since 2022. Since beginning, my physician is giving me capsule ibrutinib 140 mg to use. I am quite fine. Besides ibrutinib, I used 1. Beetroot juice 2. Tomato juice. 3. Pomegranate juice. 4. Carrot juice 5. Apple juice daily in the morning. One thing I fail to understand, why I am lean and thin. Why my bodyweight is decreasing. Please give kind suggestion.

[@salehaldebassi1717]

it isn't fatal, medicine has gone a long way in battling this disease keep your hopes up

[@TrudyContos-gq1bw]

Were you obese or just overweight and now eating healthy ? Or your appetite changed to no appetite . Sounds like you feel great so baby keep doing what you're doing. But always check to see if nothing else is doing this .
