I was recently (within past month) diagnosed with CLL, based

on a WBC of about 12,000 with a little over 50% lymphocytes.

Blood work was encouraging (mature cells, ZAP-70 negative,

low CD-38 results). No symptoms of any kind, and I am

otherwise a healthy just turned 48 year old. Awaiting CT

scan results looking for abnormal lymph nodes, not expecting

it to show anything.

While there appears to be nothing going on right now, and

hopefully not for a long time, I want to be followed by

someone who is experienced and skilled at dealing with CLL,

either in DC or in land. Does anyone have any good

words to say about doctors in this area? Thanks so much.
