I was on Calquence for 6 months, my CBC was elevated. My doctor switched me to Venetoclaz. Hope this one will work.

Hi farber,

I sure hope so too!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I cry about the BTKIs side effects & just being too strong for me but never considered it not working😳

I am thankful that even if it took 3 ER Visits in 3 Months & that I had to take a more active part in my own care, it’s gotten my numbers normal at half dose, thank GOD.

Please keep us posted because I have never read this before. I wonder if you need to circle back will it work then?🤔

#GODSPEED🙌🏾
