Thanks Brian,

Good to hear of your excellent blood test results. Your insight into your experiences with IVIG infusions was interesting to read too. I'd be thrilled if members of this community were able to learn enough from the shared experiences and information provided here to be able to intelligently work through how to tailor their treatment with their specialist as you've been able to do with your local oncologist.

It was refreshing to see Pharmalytics strong recognition of the support provided by patients on the RESONATE study - second only to their "outstanding team!". "In addition to our outstanding team, we are grateful to the patients, their treating physicians, and the clinical sites for their participation in our RESONATE study and their strong support of the ibrutinib program,"

You've touched on the slow progress towards approval for the using Ibrutinib both as a frontline treatment and also in combination, which is specifically being discussed in this recent posting:

Early use of Ibrutinib or is W&W still a needed strategy?

Very encouraging times, even if it is hard to remain patient.
