Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL)
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL)
What's in the booklet?
Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) are slow-growing types of blood cancer. They are two different forms of the same illness.
• In CLL, the cancer cells mainly build up in the blood and bone marrow.
• In SLL, the cancer cells mainly build up in the lymph nodes.
Being diagnosed with CLL/SLL can be a shock, particularly if you have never heard of it before. Leukaemia Care and Lymphoma Action have worked together on this book to help you understand what CLL/SLL is, and how it is diagnosed and treated. Each chapter is in a different colour. Practical tips on how to live well with CLL/SLL are printed in the chapter colour. We also include signposts to other useful sources of information.
This hardcopy version of our booklet can be ordered free of charge to UK addresses.
