Hi CattieAnne,

I have been on Venclexta (Venetoclax) since June 2016 and my CLL is in complete remission with no detectable disease or side effects.

BTW- the group you posted to CLL America from Patient Power is very small and has only a few posts each week.

There is a much larger and far more active group called CLL Support Association and if you click this link it will take you to a page that has 140 postings and replies about Venclexta

healthunlocked.com/search/v...

If you wish you can "follow" both groups and get a daily email digest of everything posted on both groups.

If you don't find enough information at CLL SA, then post your question there and i expect you will get many more responses.

Hi CattieAnne, I’ve been on Venclexta since February 2017 and I am in complete remission with no detectable disease in the bone marrow or blood. The side effects are minimal and the recent studies show good results. Good luck

Hi CattieAnne,

I have been on Venetoclax for the last 6 weeks. My Neutraphils and Platelets have been low but they weren't great when I started. I have stayed on 200mg for a few weeks as I have had a sore throat, nose bleeds and low bloods. White Cell count is now normal. So far I am pretty happy with this drug but I have nearly exhausted all other treatments. WW

Been on it for about a year, working great. I was switched to this because of reaction to another med for the CLL.
