Recommendations for specialist?

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I tried this once, but my post seems to have disappeared, so I

probably hit a wrong button.

I was diagnosed with CLL in July (lymph node biopsy), and have been

trying to learn as much as I can.

I've decided that it's probably past time to see a CLL specialist. I

like my onc/hematologist, but I'm thinking that I can probably get a

more complete picture of my situation from someone who sees a lot of

CLL. I live in the San Francisco bay area, so is there someone at

Stanford who specializes in CLL? Would a trip to San Diego to see

one of the specialists at UCSD be worthwhile? Any

recommendations/thoughts there?

It's been a bewildering - and scary - few months, I have to admit.

Seems like there's a LOT of information, but few answers. Thanks to

all of you who post here. It's been a great resource.
