Is there anyone in the forum who has got to Negative MRD on Ibrutinib and stopped treatment? I mean negative in blood and marrow. I want to exclude people who stopped because of side effects effects.

I have wondered about this too. I think I read somewhere that about 10% of those taking ibrutinib for 4 or 5 years may achieve uMRD. So is that good enough to get tested and maybe stop treatment for a while? I have been on ibrutinib for 4-1/2 years with good and steady results. I do see my doctor next month and will bring this up.
