It is but I am 62 years young and mine has been anywhere from 41000 to 57000 for 4 year now and I am on a watch and see which means check every 3 months. My doctor told me if it goes to 80000 then you may need chemo. On the other hand he said I might die of old age with it because it has'nt doubled in 1 year. Always be cautious of doctors. When I was diagnosed 3 years ago that doctor wanted me to start chemo. Now remember there is big money in it for doctors to start treating with chemo.sugession seek another opinion because I am glad I did not start chemo 3 years ago. I feel fine with no negative physical ailments and work weights and walk a lt without being tired and my 33 year old wife says I am fine in the sex dept. also.
