To my friends on Casebook - health issues

[Chris Scott]

Hi all
I have been suffering from various health issues for a large part of this year and at last these have been diagnosed. I felt very tired and lethargic etc and last week after a series of tests it was confirmed that I have CLL - chronic lymphatic leukemia.
I have my first consultant appointment next week, 7 November, and will know much more then. From what I gathered from my own doctor we have caught it early and the form I have is the most common and the most easily treated.
I am blessed with a great doctor and a very good local hospital and a very supportive network of family and friends.
I just wanted folks to know why I will not be posting in the near future as obviously treatment and recovery are uppermost in my mind at the moment.
I also wanted people that I am not in any danger and the outlook for recovery is very good.
All the very best
Chris Scott

You take care of yourself, Chris, and come back strong. Your contributions to this field are indispensable. But most important, you've got friends here.

Get Well Chris!!

Your contributions to this field are indispensable. But most important, you've got friends here.

I couldn't agree with Hunter's sentiment more. Stay well and get even better.

Yours truly,

Like I said on the Forums, Chris, my very best wishes.

Or, as Mr Spock said in one episode of Star Trek : "Surely I have accumulated enough leave."

I think you have, Chris.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear this, Chris!

I'm sure I speak for many when I say you'll be in our thoughts and prayers.

We'd all appreciate it very much if we could occasionally get an update on your progress.

God bless, and please return soon,
Bunny
