Suggest Treatment For Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

I was recently diagnosed with CLL due to blood tests over the past 9 months. I have no symptoms. My doctor says nothing is done at this stage except wait and watch. Do you agree or should I get a second opinion. I am a 71 year old female in very good health.
