Our Founder's Emotional Journey

Being told you have chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) can come with feelings of worry, sadness, confusion, and perhaps most of all, uncertainty. From diagnosis, to watch and wait, starting treatment, reaching long-term stability and survivorship, to potential relapse and starting over again, the journey can get complicated, and everyone's experience is unique. CLL Society is here to partner with you, and together we can tackle the hard moments and turn them into positive action and hope.

CareCast, the CLL Society podcast, explores living with CLL through real-life stories. We will speak with patients, care partners, and loved ones to get an array of perspectives on the impact CLL / SLL has from those closest to it. We invite you to join us - we are all in this together.

CLL Society is an inclusive, patient-centric, physician-curated nonprofit organization that addresses the unmet needs of the chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL / SLL) community through patient education, advocacy, support, and research.
