Acalabrutinib approved

Hi everyone

As of November 25 , Acalabrutinib has been approved as a mono therapy for second line treatment in France for patients not doing well on Ibrutinib.

My wife Gabriella had to stop Ibrutinib last January after a year because of muscle back pain and heavy bleeding and will resume treatment in the following days with this new drug .

I will keep you informed of her progress

Happy holidays and bless you all

Serge

Good luck with your move to Acalabrutinib. I've been on it for 7 weeks and so far, its working with no side effects.
