That is not a mistake 9.1 x 10^9/L. Ridiculously low and a good story to share. 17 months post treatment on Obinatuzimab and Venetoclax and I am now starting Zanubrutinib. Why? My reasonably aggressive CLL Del 11, Del 13 and IGHV Borderline (but behaving at unmutated due to the ATM deletion) triggered ITP a couple of years ago. So as the Lymphocytes came back post treatment a very small increase in malignant B cells triggered a landslide collapse in platelets. From 102 in March to 20 this week. Better than first time around at 4 when ITP diagnosed.
So not treating the CLL for CLL's sake but to keep the ITP at bay. Boy does ITP complicate this beast, at just 51 I did not really want to be burning through a 2nd line of treatment already, but hopefully the BTKi keeping pressure on the B cells will keep them in check for a long remission and here's hoping I don't suffer the side affects!
