CLL treatment and side effects

First-line treatment aims to reduce the CLL and put you into remission. If you need more treatment later on, this is called second-line treatment.

Thanks to research there’s a wide range of treatments available for people with CLL.

The side effects of treatment for CLL will depend on which treatment you have and how it affects you personally.

Because CLL affects your immune system, your hospital team will advise you how to stay safe while you’re having treatment.
