As an ibrutinib patient of 2+ years, I am very interested in other options including clinical trials if ibrutinib loses its effectiveness. I did attend an in-person conference in October 2015, and I will again when the opportunity presents itself. I just saw my dr in June & the frequency of dr visits is changing from every 3 months to every 6 months, and CT scans from 6 months to 12 months.
