After 8 1/2 months on Ibrutinib, new labs and ct scan , i was told by my Dr :

1- All labs are back to normal , no more lymphocytosis !!!

2- CT scans showed shrinks in all the former big lymph nodes. The greatest and riskier one was more than 10 cm long and is now 3 cm . Spleen is normal ( although it wasn´t too big ) .

3- I had very few adverse reactions during this time , some cramps, little diharrea at first some heartburn.

My BP was normally 11/7 is now 13/7 . I have to see cardiologist and do some rutine tests but she didn´t show any concern about that. Just try to eat less salty and control it regularly.

Next appointment in two months !!
