Hi, I was diagnosed in February. W&W until something changes. I'm wondering if the fatigue and headaches are actually symptoms I should be having at this stage, and other symptoms you folks are having or have had during this stage.

Many people in the watch and wait phase do experience various symptoms, including fatigue and headaches, though everyone's experience can be different. It's always worth discussing any new or concerning symptoms with your healthcare team to help determine what might be related to CLL versus other factors. Others in this community may share their experiences with watch and wait symptoms, which can help you feel less alone in this journey.

PS: you may want to check out The CLL Society online. They are a tremendous source of knowledge about CLL. Knowledge is power.
