2 weeks of Imbruvica update

I had some intestinal issues with beginning of week one but they have gone away. No side effects to speak of. I felt good before I started taking it and still do. The main reason I was put on the drug was because my neutrophils were crashing. Down to .4, my other numbers were still in W & W territory. The good news is the Neutrophils are already on the rise. Up to .9. Other numbers improved as well. Yeah!

I’m a bit like you, 12Caine12. My blood was mostly W&W, but my nodes were getting visibly swollen, & my neutrophils were at .2 in November. I started O+V on January 23 (one week ago), when my neuts were at .4; now, a week later, they’re at .9, & my swollen nodes are no longer really visible. Amazing week!
