What Does This Lymphocytes And WBC While Having Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Indicate?

My husband has been dx with Cll. His lymphocytes, have tripled from 3 to 9 in 6 months. And Wbc has gone from 11 to 15 in the same time.Is this progression as debilitating as a person who starts with a higher white count and lymphocytes, With a tripling of 50 to 100 or is the tripling on a count of 3 to 9 the same effect?

Hello,

Your mentioned history suggestive that your Lymohocytes count and the total count is increasing.

If it is constantly increasing than chemotherapy should be started.

I suggest you consult hematologist for your detailed evaluation and management.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
