My fifth day Imbruvica. What to expect and what to keep as a young patient ? Blood picture from today- chronic progressive ;) Still on corticosteroids 2*4 mg Medrol!

I feel boringly normal...хахахахх

Best regards CLL friends!

4 weeks for me and after a achy painfull few weeks I like you now feel normal and you can drink beer wine etc I told my consultant in had stopped drinking after seeing posts that you shouldo not and he told me there is no interaction with ibrutinib so drink if I want too . Will still take it easy but great to know you can enjoy a beer if you want to. You might get bone pain etc at some point but it's normal and will pass as fast as it came all the best

Thank you for you replay , Cartwheels ;)

The photo is from my two-year waiting period (waiting for the right treatment).

I am taking easy too...Summer time only beer, winter time glass of wine! Beer for Platelets, red wine for Hemoglobin.

Best regards

I take mine at night before bed and it seems to keep my stomach issues to a minimum. It might help me sleep too! Overall it has been fine. My nodes went down in one week
