Update to Ibrutinib

This is my first update to a post I made roughly 2 weeks ago. I see the oncologist every 2 weeks for a blood stick and office visit since being put on Ibrutinib 420 mg in early January 2020. So far the white blood count has been "gradually" going down and the platelet count has been "gradually" going up. I'm headed in the right direction ---- still a way to go. Everything else seems to be ok with the doc. I am hoping that the Ibrutinib does the job. Still stuck with my continual attempts to "stay asleep" after falling asleep with no problems, a problem I had before taking Ibrutinib. I now just get up and do a little house work at 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning, paying for it in the following late morning/noon hours.
