Posted on: 04/23/2012 I'm 48 years old and have had 7 heart attacks in the last 14 years along with 12 stents. Recently I was diagnosed with stage 4 CLL. Can you give me any ideas on life expectancy? |

Posted on: 03/25/2009 I have CLL with itching (pruritus), which was extremely severe at onset, but continued at a lower level after chemo therapy. Antihistamines are totally useless in treating it. Does anyone else have this complication, and if so, had a treatment that controlled it? Thanks.

Posted on: 01/13/2010 I am in W and W and am really suffering from pruritus [itching]. I've seen a many specialist (derm, chiro, allergist, family physician, accupunture, etc.) and no one is able to relieve it. I scratch myself raw - I am anxious for treatment just for some relief from this.

Posted on: 02/27/2013 I have HIVES every month, for last 3 years, documented occurance for 2 years, blood test revealed CLL...But Onc states has nothing to do with IT. On Rituxan for last year, hives have decreased in quanity, intensity . Will be stoppin g Rituxan in two months and scared..use of Epipen, Ativan and IM Bendryl. Hospital ER visits via ambulance several times and costly, for I can manage this at home, due to experience and many times dealing with.
