I have been told w/ my blood #s, weight loss, fatigue and several other factors I’m exiting “watch& wait “. Been told to consider either RITUXIMAB or VENTOCLAX.
I’ve been researching on Dr Google but would highly value opinions from anyone that has experience with either of these. Any comments would be greatly appreciated!
Hello Ben,
I finished my first year of treatment this past March. I did a combo treatment of Venetoclax(1 year) and Gazyva(6 months. Obinutuzumab). I feel very fortunate to not have had any serious side effects. In 365 days on Venetoclax, I think I had minor nausea maybe 7-10 days. I had two different meds to help with that, if I felt the need. I have bad fatigue, but most of that, I believe, is from my Multiple Sclerosis(dx'd 2005). Some may be from the cancer meds, or the CLL/SLL that I have(I'm in deep remission now). But I can't say for sure.
I hope this helps. Best of luck to you on your journey. 🤗Hugs!
Laurie
