Taking Imbruvica Along With Blood Thinners

[Bluejacket]

I was already on Xarelto when I started Imbruvica. I know that Imbruvica is also a blood thinner and am beginning to bruise with the slightest bump. Are others out there in a similar situation? I worry that my blood is too thin which could cause internal bleeding. So far, the doctors have said stay on both.

I have no clue how to do that after it's posted or why it's important...

Perhaps the admin will help... open post are available to the entire internet, some people are less likely to talk about their experience... I was on Xarelto and Imbruvica (ibrutinib), glad to discuss my brief adventure on posts only open to this CLL community.
