Guest guest Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 The mother in law of a friend of mine has CLL. She is in her 90tys and on watch and wait. Her doctor has decided it is time to treat. My friend did not know what the treatment is, that is why there will be a part 2. My question is why bother to treat a 90 plus person at all? None of the treatments that I know of are mild enough for her. (Will I think that when I am 90? It depends on whether I am still productive and cognizant of my surroundings.) What do you think? In part 2 I will tell you what the onc wants to treat her with. Jeannette E Brown You are not stuck where you are unless you decide to be. Dr. Wayne W.
