John, Venetoclax + obinutuzumab is a very effective fixed term, combination targeted (that is 'non-chemo' treatment). We have over 3,000 posts mentioning it, with many members sharing their experiences. See healthunlocked.com/cllsuppo...

If you edit your title to include the treatment name and share your post with just this community healthunlocked.com/cllsuppo... you'll get more replies.

I finished venetoclax + obinutuzumab + acalabrutinib treatment over 3 years ago and my blood counts are the healthiest they've been in nearly 20 years.
