Ibrutnib

No. 4 years ago, I developed a bleeding problem while in ibrutinib and they were going to give me a different medicine. When they screened me for the new meducine, they discovered my cancer was gone, so, I didn’t need to continue with any cancer medicine. I do, though, get IVIG and I take Bactrim and Valtrex.

Congratulations. That must be a huge relief and hope for others. What flavor of Cll did you have (markers)?

What lab test did they use to determine your cancer was gone if you don’t mind me asking? Were you treatment naive the first time you were placed on Ibrutinib four years ago? When you say a bleeding problem where were you bleeding from? Thanks for answering my questions. -LCCLL
