Just had my monthly telephone consultation with my consultant and after 9 months on Ibrutinib and 9 weeks now on venetoclax my WBC and lymphocytes are normal. He said that at the moment this can be considered as βbeing in remissionβ and to just keep on taking the tablets!
If I had a bottle of champagne in the house I would open it πΎ

Thank you. For the first 3 months on Ibrutinib I gave up meat and alcohol - the latter being a big sacrifice! And after that I gradually reintroduced them although still only have meat 3 times a week max and have greatly reduced any alcohol. Not sure it contributed much but I felt I ought to try to be βclean livingβ π
Thank you. I stopped Ibrutinib after 9 months as it was affecting my sight and then started Venetoclax so not been taking both at same time. Congratulations on your results too.
