A 1998 survey of CLL List members asked about disruption of normal activities. Three hundred and forty List members responded as follows:
| Years since diagnosis | Degree of Disruption | ||||
| None % |
Mild % |
Much % |
Total | ||
| # | % | ||||
| Under 5 | 45.5 | 32.4 | 22.1 | 253 | 100 |
| 5 to 9.99 | 32.8 | 44.8 | 22.4 | 67 | 100 |
| 10 or more | 40.0 | 45.0 | 15.0 | 20 | 100 |
| Total | 42.6 | 35.6 | 21.8 | 340 | 100 |
Seventy-eight to eighty-five percent of respondents said they experienced no or mild disruption in their lives. Especially interesting is that the time passed since diagnosis seems to make little difference.
