Does anyone know anything about CLL

[Cattie]

Hi,

does anyone know anything about Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (or however it's spelled?)

My latest trip to the docs (having previously been diagnosed with glandular fever and then hashimotos) had them deciding that I have an enlarged spleen and a fairly sudden onset of anaemia.  All the questions that I was asked and the spleen thing, and the yet further round of blood tests that I was sent for, related to CLL (though that wasn't actually said), and I'm a bit worried.  

Is it something that sometimes happens to people with autoimmune thyroid and other autoimmune conditions?

A related discussion, cll an thyroid Condition was started.

Thanks for that.  I know that doctors don't want to worry patients unnecessarily, but it's so frustrating when you have to go see them month after month, and get asked so many questions and trotted off for blood tests all the time, and they never explain why it's all happening.

Cattie, I don't know if this info will help but Hashi's Disease will cause changes in blood cells. Hashimoto's is also called "Chronic Lymphocytic Thyroiditus". I don't know enough about CLL to comment but did notice the similarities in terms for both of them. This might give you a little research wording, so you can go to google.com, ask.com. msn.com and do a little researching. Sorry I didn't know more, maybe someone else does.
I Wish You the Very Best.
