For Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: Took 6 months to bring my count down from 149,000

10 / 10

For Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: I have been taking Leukeran since 11-19-2002 with no side effects, to treat CLL. Currently I am taking 2mg three times per week. My white count is staying under 19K. I have no symptoms of the CLL. The alternative is chemotherapy, and I said no way. Leukeran is keeping my Leukemia in check.
