Hello Randy, I took Venetoclax with Obinutuzimab infusions 4 years ago for 12 months. I tolerated the drugs very well, maybe just going to the toilet a bit more often. I had 4 years of remission & now the CLL has returned. My haematologist said I’ll be on Brukinsa next, probably in the next few months. Drinking 1500ml of water a day when on the Venetoclax was a challenge! Good luck.

Sending prayers for your recovery

Randy,

I have been on Venetaclax for 11 months now. I found the initial 6 weeks were the worst of it. According to my oncologist, this was due to the high number of cells dying. Once my counts got lower I started to feel much better.

This past May I started to have bouts of diarrhea which I’m told is the most common side effect. Other than that I feel mostly good. The treatment has been super effective and I am looking forward to wrapping up next month. Good luck with your journey.

Tom

Thank you Donna! The last few weeks have been rough starting on Venclexta but today is a good day. A lot of challenging days over the last few weeks but with prayers and support I keep moving through this storm and asking for help from my team and family. Hope you are doing and well! Sending you back prayers and hugs!

Hi Randy
