Some context:

I'm 35 and have had some recent visits with my primary care doctor and noticed an enlarged spleen and lymph nodes after a CT scan (For something entirely unrelated) blood work came back a little off so next thing I know I'm referred to an Oncologist. He does a blood smear and performs a bone marrow biopsy two days later along with CT scans specifically for my lymph nodes and spleen. He says he believes it could be CLL but I won't know for two weeks until the biopsy comes back.

Are there any younger people out there with CLL? I've never been seriously sick in my life and now this. Safe to say I'm freaking out a little bit. What can I expect if I do have it at 35 years old?
