Hi
thanks for your query. CLL is not treated unless it has symptoms like fever, weight loss, night sweats, low hemoglobin or platelets or rapidly progressing white cells or lymph nodes, liver, spleen. I guess you have none of these, hence you are just being observed. Getting a CT scan is just to monitor the progression, if any.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer further followup queries, if any.
