As the most common type of leukemia in adults, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) starts in cells that become certain white blood cells (called lymphocytes) in the bone marrow. The cancer (leukemia) cells start in the bone marrow but then go into the blood.  For some CLL patients, the disease often progresses slowly with many patients going years before noticing symptoms. For others, the cancer grows quickly.

 

The event is FREE, but space is limited.
