[annmcgowan]

Hi everyone just got back from hospital after my first infusion of Rituximab. All went well no hiccups thank goodness. Started Ibrutinib the day before. I know I am not out of the wood reaction wise yet but so far so good.🤞for the road ahead. Thank you to everyone on this site who have helped me to get this far.

Excellent news. I started IR on the FLAIR trial a year ago. I’ve been lucky enough to have had no real issues with either drug.

Results recently of scan and bone marrow were better than anyone expected.

Hope all goes well for you

Hi Dear Ann,

Any update on your treatment? Are you still taking Ibrutinib?

Hope all is well.

Best Regards.

[annmcgowan in reply to paula_dae]

Hi Paula I am still on Ibrutinib and all is well apart from a persistent cough which appears to be unrelated to my treatment.

I am to get my 9 month CT Scan in November so will know more about my status then.

Thank you for asking. I hope all is still well with you?

Take care

Ann
