After just two weeks on calquence my Dr. is stopping the calquence and putting me on imbruvica due to the fatigue.( unable to work) I was already having trouble with fatigue before I started the calquence. Told Dr. I could probably tolerate the calquence if I didn't have to report to work everyday but he insisted that we change to imbruvica. Is it gonna be better or worse? Now I'm just stressing. So tried...

HI. I do not have experience of Calquence, but have been on IB for a couple of years now. I do feel fatigued but it is not unbearable. I work 39 hours per week in a physically demanding role, if i need to "Take five" and rest i do so as agreed with my employers. I do find that if i keep pushing myself thoughts of fatigue subside as i don't have the time to dwell on it. Hope your journey on Imbruvica is a smooth one, It has improved my quality of life so much for the better. Word of advice when on IB Drink LOTS of water. Best wishes.
I started on Imbruvica over 5 years ago and had no side effects at all, and my swollen lymph nodes were normal within 3 months. So, I did very well on it and am still taking it. Try it.........and I hope you do as well as I have. ALL THE BEST!!!!! Keep your spirits up and hope for good results!
