Hey Julian, I told you so! 😉 The treatment is amazing, I felt better after the first infusion, it was like a miracle, honestly ...and the reduction in lymphocytes and the speed of recovery was quite astonishing. I wish you all the best, feel free to read my posts, I tried to keep a diary so it could help others on their journey. It helped me immensely when I was reading posts from other people. Keep drinking your 2l a day, don't overdo it when you suddenly feel like you have the energy to do a million and one thing in a day 🙂watch out for fever - there is a risk of neutropenic sepsis, not uncommon during the first few weeks - any fever, go to your nearest A&E. Keep us updated!Petra ❤️
It's a great MAB, I was diagnosed stage 4 will 100% marrow infiltration (age 57) with a wbc of 3k , hb 80 , plts 40...straight to O+I , in uMDR in 240 days. On alcalibrutinib twice daily and monthly bloods stable. Have been in remission for 3 yrs now , MRD checked every 6 months. I live a fill and active life as a full time dad , at 60, to my 6 and 4 yr olds. Stay positive... drink wine and eat steak
Yay!!! Excellent news to wake up to this morning!!! I don’t know what was more scary to me watching my numbers climb or being told I needed to start treatment. Started Acalabrutinib first, but it was the Obinutuzumab infusions that really helped beat back my numbers . Glad you are well!!!
Great news. I had finished the obinutuzumab infusions almost a year ago. Now, no meds, great energy level, no side effects. Hopefully you will continue to get through this treatment with minimal side effects. Good luck.
