My aunt is on her fourth dose of ibrutinib. Her white count went from 33000 to 114000. She was told that this could be a normal side effect and that it will eventually go back down. Has anybody else had this experience?

hello, and if the leukocytes for 6 months on ibrutinib decreased from 100 to 8.5. and now it is 10, it seems they are growing again. this is normal? Thanks for the answer!
Yes, I was put on Imbruvica in January of this year and my WBC went from 79,000 to 269,000 and now down to 69,000....And I expect it to continue downward.
thats what people say, it goes up, but I have been on it for 5 weeks now, and nothing has changed but my neutrophils. They were 3 and are now 7. My WBC was running between 293,000 and 343,000. I think the 343,000 was from a tooth I needed pulled, but WBC is not changing and neither is ALC, My first Dr. appt isn't until 2 more weeks in April, so I hope it is working.
