Venetoclax and Rituximab

[starlifter]

I have been on Venetoclax since June 021 200mg day , aciclovir , thyroxine, bactrim , lixiana and enterol and a 6 month once a month shot of rituximab , my original lab tests before starting treatment in May were WBC 278,000 , lymph nodes around neck area swollen, pain in groin due swelling and touching nerve , had to drag my foot to walk, rbc 3,32 hgb 10,8 platelets 85 and lymph 261 , first two infusions were tough but didnt bring down WBC very well , then started Venetoclax and now WBC 3.92 Rbc 4.99 platelets 130 and lymph .94 all lymph nodes normal , only effect of taking Venetoclax a slight nausea but I control it by not eating greasy foods and drink at least 1 liter a day , this helps out , never had any other symptoms, and have had 3 covid vaccines which includes the booster. I always wear a mask outdoors anywhere I go and havent had a cold since. Actually I feel better now than before my illness because I exercise more to stay in shape I hope this helps anyway who has questions about the treatment. Good luck
