My father's blood test indicates CLL

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

My father who lives in India underwent a body scan for his

prostate when the technician noticed that his spleen was

enlarged. The doctors asked him to do a blood test which

revealed that his WBC was 58,000. He was prescribed Zyloric

and was asked to do a bone marrow test. He has done the bone

marrow test and is awaiting results. In the meanwhile he had

the blood test done again in the lab that did his bone

marrow (different from the first one) and his WBC came down

to 45,000. Not sure if this due to difference in labs or if

the Zyrolic had an effect.

I am including the latest blood test report here. None of

his other lymph nodes appear to be enlarged. He is 77 years

old and in otherwise good health. I would appreciate any

thoughts, help etc. I have also sent him some green tea

tablets in the hope that the EGCG will be of some help,-

Thanks for any ideas/advice/thoughts.
