For many living with CLL, lab tests are a constant part of the experience—but understanding what they mean isn’t always easy. In this in-depth conversation, CLL expert Dr. Adam Kittai joins longtime patient advocate Michele Nadeem-Baker to explore how blood tests guide real-world care decisions.

From identifying when “watch and wait” should shift to active treatment, to interpreting genetic markers like IGHV and TP53, to understanding MRD testing and remission—this discussion helps demystify what’s behind the numbers and how they shape your care.

Topics:

  • How ongoing blood tests guide CLL monitoring and treatment timing

  • What genetic tests like IGHV, TP53, and FISH reveal about your prognosis

  • How MRD (minimal residual disease) testing is used to assess remission

  • Differences in follow-up for time-limited vs. continuous treatment

  • Questions to ask about your labs—and what they mean for your future care
