Don't take this the wrong way but your post gave me a laugh! I assumed you were being a bit facetious. I hope your NON-side effects go on for a good long time!

Are you on Ibrutinib solo or on a doublet treatment?

Hi. Been on IB for four years. Mainly joint pain. Keep moving and drink LOTS of water. Best wishes.

Thanks

I’ve never had negative side effects. Ibrutinib gave me a life again. I take my three pills in the evening and go to bed. Just drink plenty of water. I’ve had two previous treatments and I feel Ibrutinib is a miracle drug in comparison. I hope it gives you a chance to enjoy life again. Best of luck. Sally

Thanks Sally so far no side effects but it's only been 2 days. Glad it's worked well for you.
