I'm a coffee drinker. I only have one or two cups in the morning. Will it effect the Imbruvica? I take all my meds around 9 or 930am with food.
I was diagnosed with CLL at the age of 41. My hematologist says 1 in 6 million have CLL at my age. I’ve not met another in my age group with CLL and just curious.
I have been on Imbruvica for about 1 month now for CLL. When my WBC count hit 68 in mid March 2020, the doctor put me on it. 2 weeks after starting the drug my WBC count was 95. Today I had another blood test and it is up to 111. I spoke with the oncologist today and he said to not be alarmed and to expect a spike when starting the Imbruvica for the 1st month or 2 (it can double according to him), but after that it should drop dramatically. Has anyone else that is on Imbruvica noticed this… read more
Hi I’m Stage 1 of cll and wondering what’s next?
I’ve exhausted all chemo options and am currently on Imbruvica for my CLL (2 & 1/2 yrs in) out of nowhere depression & anxiety set in. Has anyone experienced this on Imbruvica?
I am in watch and wait mode for CLL after being diagnosed a couple of years ago. Pain and fatigue are what originally sent me to the doctor before diagnosis. Has anyone else experienced worsening pain and extreme fatigue before treatment?
My mind is having difficulty wrapping itself around allowing affected cells to travel through my blood to all parts of my body, and waiting until tumors form to treat. Can anyone explain the logic in this?
I agree about worrying about CLL spreading through my body also! I just keep reminding myself that other types of cancer are so much worse.
