Had my 4 month check-in and my WBCs down to 10.7! I am so excited!!! Let's all pray that this Imbruvica keeps on whipping the bad cells. Still having fatigue and have added throat ulcers to the mix of side effects. I can tolerate them but sure wish I could feel better or get used to it.

Great news! Imbruvica (ibrutinib) is killing all your B cells... not just the bad ones...
Most Imbruvica (ibrutinib) side effects pass with time... hang in there..

Lovely to hear your good news. Best wishes for continued success!
Keep focussed, sounds like treatment is working and side effects will be resolved. Great Christmas present!
That is incredibly good news - so glad you are getting good results. Long may it continue!
Glad you are improving! Hopefully you will have continued success.
Praying for you. I start imbruvica next month.
Great news! I've wondered if/when I had to start treatment if I would be able to deal with side effects (if any). But like you, I think I would try to push forward to see if they would resolve. Kudos to you and enjoy your holidays!
GR8 news. I'm feeling ya on those throat sores. When I know I'm alone, I just stick my finger in there and scratch them. Probably not recommended or approved by anyone, but it works for me.
Anyway, thanks for the inspiration.
I may give that a try! : )))
