Accepted Answer
The decision to start treatment for CLL typically depends on multiple factors beyond just blood work numbers, including symptoms, physical exam findings, and how the condition is progressing. Each person's situation is unique, so treatment timing varies significantly from patient to patient. Many others in this community have navigated similar questions about when to begin treatment, and discussing experiences with your healthcare team and fellow community members can provide valuable insights during this important decision-making process.
