Moving to Calquence from Ibrutinib

I’ve been on Imbruvica for about 15 months and while it’s driven my numbers down in am ideal fashion, I approached my ONC because the fatigue due to the meds has sucked a lot of my day to day energy away .

Don’t get me wrong, exercise helps and I’m in good enough shape where I ran a marathon just 2 months ago, it the meds still made me feel empty inside and I have a hard time staying focused and alert more often than not.

So starting tomorrow i was approved to take Calwuence and have hear great things about its efficacy with minimal side effects. At first I was not approved, but my ONC appealed and my first delivery of the new meds comes tomorrow.

Anyone else on Calquence?
