CLL Blood Tests: The Numbers I Actually Pay Attention To

Blood tests have become a regular part of my life since being diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL) — but initially, I didn't really understand what all the numbers meant. In this video, I look at the blood test results I personally pay attention to, including my white blood cells and lymphocytes, haemoglobin, platelets and neutrophils. I also talk about how my results have changed during treatment with zanubrutinib, why I initially became focused on individual numbers, and what I've learned about looking at the bigger picture. These are my own blood results and my personal experience of living with CLL. They shouldn't be used as targets or comparisons for anyone else's CLL, and this video isn't medical advice. Please discuss your own blood results with your CLL or haematology team. If you have CLL, I'd be interested to know whether you follow your blood results too — and which numbers you find yourself looking at first. #CLL #CLLBloodTests #CLLTreatment #Leukaemia #BloodCancer
