Imbruvica and weight training

[POKEY1168]

Well, I wasn't expecting so soon but, I started treatment. My symptoms had reached a point that my oncologist and I decided to pull the trigger and start me on Imbruvica. My hot flashes and lymphadenopathy reached the point that we needed to.

I'm looking to get back into my gym and start back on my weight training and swimming. I'm a veteran and have always tried to maintain a very active lifestyle and exercise. I have found quite a bit of positive research in regards to exercise, but very little of use when it comes to weight training. I know that I will have to start off very easy and listen to objections from my body much more than before. I'm just curious if anyone here has gone back to working out after their diagnosis and especially on Imbruvica treatments. I would love to hear some anecdotal responses. For the curious.. My WBC count has not been insanely high only about four times normal at my highest to date. I am still working fulltime as a single dad. I want to be around for my kiddos and try to stay as active as possible for them.

THANK YOU!

Hi there,

hopefully you will have seen the notice saying that this community is not currently active and suggesting that you post on the CLL Support community which is very international and approx 50% of it's 16,000 members are from USA.

I see that you are already a member of CLL Support, so perhaps copy and paste this into a post on that site.

Best wishes
