If you are living with CLL, you should pay close attention to any new stomach pains you might be feeling. According to Dr. V.K. Gadi, who writes our [HealthTalk] Ask the Doctor column, there are many things that cause abdominal pain in CLL patients. CLL can cause organ enlargement, including enlargement of the lymph nodes and spleen, which can lead to a lot of pain. Less commonly, CLL can grow in the lining of the stomach and/or the intestines, which can cause cramping, diarrhea, weight loss and reflux. Both of these situations can be addressed by treating the underlying CLL. To find out what else you can do to combat CLL-related abdominal pain, read on.

- This got as far as " Read on " . Do you have access to the rest

of the article. Does anyone else have info. related to this. I just

had CT scans done to try to pin down abdominal pain, but no one has

ever mentioned that CLL could be involved. Thanks! Pat
