I went for my blood check last week and unexpectedly my hemoglobin and red blood cells have dropped significantly until I'm now anemic. I've been on imbruvica for over 3 years and this hasn't happened before. I'm wondering if the medicines about to quit working or is this just something temporary. Has anyone else experienced this?

is your alc and wbc rising?
A little bit but not too much. The doctor assistant thinks it may be fluxicating a little. The WBC went from 11.1 to 19.2 in two months and the lymphocytes went from 8.9 to 16.1

fluctuating and almost doubling are 2 different things. I'd insist on actual doctor contact.
