Is CLL a normally dormant type of leukemia or does it tend to spike unexpectedly? My husband was diagnosed two years ago but the cancer doctor says there have been no changes and just to keep an eye on cell count. Should we be comfortable with this?

I was diagnosed in 2005 with CLL and have been on a regular cell count check since that time. I am comfortabel with that, but my husband worries! I have also started some homeopathic therapies since the doctor said he could not do anything until I had symptoms other than the elevated white blood cell count.
