Hello, Thank you for posting this information.  My mother, who is 70, was diagnosed a few months ago too.  Her blood has been monitored for 10 years due to this problem but they recently gave it a name because she had many infections & mouth sores this year & her neutrophils were going even lower .3?.

Her doctor recently tried Methotrexate (sp?) with a steroid protesone (pardon my spelling ) that didnt do anything.  There were also some use of Neuprogen in between.  Right now her neutorphil count is going up but her lymphocites are too high & her red blood cells are now too low.  So, she was referred to Stanford Cancer Center here in California.  They recommend trying another immune suppressing treatment - Cyclosporine but it seems they dont really know if it will work - only 5-10 cases of this T-cell LGL have been treated successfully in the last 5 years there.

Anyway, this post was a breath of fresh air but wondering how do you go about finding a good naturopath?
