Hi everyone! Not to get into politics, but today sure does feel like the dawning of a new era (especially given the gorgeous weather here in Berlin!)
I just wanted to share an update on my V+O progress. As you know, I started treatment last June. I had a rough first month, but since then my numbers have gotten better and better and, as of just before Christmas, are ALL within normal range! I completed the Obinutuzumab in October, and was finally taken off Allopurinol and antibiotics in December (and immediately lost 4 of the kilos I gained, though it's hard to say if it was a side effect or just the result of all the cheese I ate around the holidays).
I'm still at 400mg of Venetoclax daily, with zero known side effects. I do have some musculoskeletal pain that I didn't have before, which is listed as a potential effect, but my doctor thinks it's more related to home office working than the meds. Shrug.
The one bad thing, and I'd love to hear from others on this, is that my doc says there's no point in getting the COVID vaccine until 6 months post finishing the Obi (which for me is April). Has anyone else heard that? Something to do with CD20, I think.
