Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL): Managing Treatment and Finding Balance

Some people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) may feel well day to day, but that doesn’t mean life stays the same. In this episode, we hear from Annette Holloway, a clinical psychologist living with CLL, as she shares how her diagnosis, treatment decisions, and side effects have shaped her daily life. Also joining us is Elise Curry, RN, OCN, a Clinical Trial Nurse Navigator at Blood Cancer United’s Clinical Trial Support Center, who helps break down treatment options, side effects, and the importance of communication with your care team.
