This is a mostly upbeat, sometimes downbeat, look at my life with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia a.k.a, CLL. Though CLL could also stand for "Could'a Lived Longer," I believe you can still have a life well-lived despite your CLL. I hope hearing about my journey will encourage you on your walk with leukemia.
