My husband was diagnosed in 2010 at the age of 40. 2013 he had FCR. 11 years later, he is in week 5 of venteclax, Rituximab to follow next month. Swollen lymph nodes have disappeared.

Hi, I notice you havent had replies. If you lock your post it will make a difference.Maybe others who have had this treatment can discuss their results. Its a worrying time but treatments are really different and more are coming along. I had cll when I was 43. I had fcr in 2010 and 9 years later Ibrutinib.

Im glad he is doing so well. Anne uk

This sounds very promising Wendy especially as your husband had such a long period of remission following FCR. Venetoclax certainly did the business for me and I hope your husband goes from strength to strength.

Are there any issues you wanted advice on?
