[QUOTE="DeejayR, post: 1635504, member: 126679"] Hi [USER=98862]@shellysexbomb[/USER] , sorry I missed this first time round. I'm very sorry to hear of your diagnosis and may your CLL be a sleeping dragon. I'm hoping mine is. I was amazed at the expert and patient people I found in haematology compared with the conveyor belt of my local surgery, but I'm not blaming anyone but the politicians for that. I was quite overcome when talking to one of the cancer nurses by her willingness to let me ramble on about anything for as long as I wanted, until I felt there must be something more important she could do. Later it occurred to me that while I was with her, I was the most important thing. That's quite an eye-opener. I hope you find people like that too -- it will make a huge difference to your wellbeing. I was diagnosed early thanks to my annual HbA1C tests. I have no symptoms except a gently rising lymphocyte count. The first specialist I saw told me that while people on the outside talk fearfully of The Big C, in oncology they give it a lower case 'c' and concentrate on treatment. I've decided that everything I do will be looking to the future. I've just had a load of timber dumped on the drive with a view to building raised veg beds and steps and repairing compost bins. I'm planning for spring and summer. Barring accidents I'll have a great Christmas, and I hope you do too. [/QUOTE]
