WALDENSTORM'S IBRUTINIB AND FATIGUE

[qgar]

I have waldenstroms, chemo never helped. had 4 tries in 4 years... Now am on Ibrutinib and I am feeling much better. Been taking for 4 months. Had bad headaches heartburn and nausea. Pretty normal chemo side effects. Lately have been feeling very tired. Wondering if others have the same issues?

I did notice increased heartburn with ibrutinib -- especially immediately after taking the pills. A burning in my throat. And my energy has not been tip-top. But that could be many things. Good luck to you!

Qgar, so glad that ibrutinib is making you feel much better. Hope the side effects can be resolved soon.

Yes I have been on Ibruntnib for 3 months and get a lot of fatigue. I am 95 so that may account for some of it! But I always had lots of energy before the pills. Oncologist says it will go away when red blood count improves. Luckily I have not had any other problems.

Taking Imbruvica without food before bed seemed to help me with somach issues,

Be well,
