FOR PATIENTS, WHĀNAU & SUPPORTERS
You don't have to
face CLL alone
CLL Advocates NZ provides trusted information, support, and advocacy for New Zealanders living with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia.
A guide for patients in New Zealand
Being diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL) can be a shock, particularly if you have never heard of it. If you have any questions about CLL, including what causes it, who it affects, how it affects your body, what symptoms to expect and likely treatments – this booklet covers the basics for you.
As a CLL patient advocacy group, we aim to improve survival and quality of life for New Zealanders living with CLL. At the same time, through education, research and knowledge sharing, we seek to empower patients to advocate for and access equitable, world-class treatment. We hope this booklet will help advance that objective.
WHO WE ARE
Advocating for every New Zealander with CLL
We are a volunteer-led organisation of trustees and community members committed to ensuring every person diagnosed with CLL has access to clear information, timely treatment, and a community that understands.
CLL affects people differently. There are a number of treatment options and support pathways available - and we're here to help you navigate them.
