What's the difference between WM and LPL in blood cancers?

Hi Cathy, I just noticed your question. I'm not a doctor, but from what I understand is if you have WM you have LPL but you can have LPL and not have WM! Anyway, I've been fighting WM for 10years. Chemo cocktail stopped working in 2017. I've been on clinicians since them ... I'm on my 4th clinical trial now! Larry

Thank you for sharing such helpful information about the relationship between WM and LPL - this distinction can be confusing for many people in the community. Your decade of experience navigating treatment changes and clinical trials demonstrates real resilience, and sharing this knowledge helps others who may be facing similar questions about their diagnosis. Clinical trials can offer hope when standard treatments aren't working as effectively, and your willingness to participate in research may help future patients too.

Have been taking brukinsa for almost 4 years. Had 4 course of rituximab the first year. Not many issues other than some nausea and tiredness
