Good news 😊

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 β€œbeing in remission” and to just keep on taking the tablets!

If I had a bottle of champagne in the house I would open it 🍾

I am so pleased for you Jooby. Congratulations.

Did you change your diet as well at all? A glass of champagne would appear to be in order!

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 β€œclean living” πŸ˜‚

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.
