Pericardial effusion

[Virgo10]

I’m wondering if anyone developed pericardial effusion that was diagnosed as relating to cll or the medicine they were on. Any info would be very much appreciated.

Virgo10, there are instances of heart-related issues with CLL and with some of the treatments. If you will lock your post so that it is private to this community and not on the internet, and give some more specific details of what you are asking, others might be able to share their experiences more freely.

I have atypical cll and take acalabrutinib. Cll cells found in samples takes during surgery for cardiac window for pericardial effusion. One doc said effusion was caused by cll. Another said it was not.

Do I “lock” by limiting readers to this group only?

Thanks so much!
