ON CALQUENCE FOR 37DAYS

I have been on Calquence for 37 days, and I have developed a cough for four days now. My nurse thinks it is a virus, has anyone developed a cough. I have no sore throat, just constant cough. I tested myself for Covid it came out negative. I will be seeing my Cll oncologist in Ohio next wed.

My doctor that is treating me here is not a CLL Specialist. Thanks

I developed a cough while on Imbruvica for 6 months and was pulled fro. It when I developed two types of pneumonia. I was back on Watch and Weight for two years and then needed to resume treatment and I have been on Calquence for ten months and my cough is back and I have been told that it is a side effect for some people, however, I love Calquence for what it has done for my labs and I have never felt better in the 33+ years having CLL.

All the very best to you!!!

To arrive at the diagnosis your nurse will have checked the nature of your cough and for any other symptoms. Last summer, shortly after starting on a new medication (not for CLL), I had a productive chesty cough for 8 weeks with no concomitant fever or other symptoms. I'm absolutely certain I had caught a respiratory virus, nothing to do with the meds.

There is a lot of RSV around at the moment.

Keep repeating the Covid tests. Sometimes they don't show positive until several days after symptoms begin.
