Wondering if anyone has experienced this or has thoughts: 13 q Muted. Was on ibrutinib followed by zanubrutinib for consecutive 24 months. Labs normalized and stayed that way within 6 weeks of initiating treatment. So was on BTKi therapy for two years
Have been off zanubrutinib since July 2022. Was taken off due to a covid infection; my oncologist thought I should be off medication while covid positive. I was positive for several weeks. I turned negative in October 2022.
Even though I became covid negative, I have remained off treatment since July 2022. I feel ok, my labs have remained normal. The plan is to stay off treatment until my labs or physical well-being indicate a reason to restart treatment. The re-treatment will likely be zanubrutinib.
Wondering if anyone has any experience with something similar; being off BTKi treatment for prolonged period of time. Additionally, wondering if I do need re-treated would I need new FISH testing. Am I at greater risk of having deletion or mutation changes while off treatment.
Thanks for your reply
