WBC continues to decrease with Brukinsa

[Tajie]

Good news! Yesterday my WBC was 92.1 -- the first time under 100 in more than six months! I am taking 160 mg of Brukinsa each morning. There has been a gradual decline from a high of 133, then 118 then 102 and now 92. Slow but steady progress! Side effects are pretty manageable with small doses of Immodium as needed (which is pretty often :).

cool. D’you have target?

[Tajie in reply to VEGANFTA]

Back to normal I guess!

[VEGANFTA in reply to Tajie]

Sorry. New here. What is your normal target?

[Tajie in reply to VEGANFTA]

"normal" white blood count is 8 to 12. With CLL I don't really know if it is realistic to make that my target but that is what I meant. Welcome aboard!

Quick question. Did you see an increase in your WBC prior to the welcomed decrease?

I just started Brukinsa.

Thanks.

Yes, it did go up for the first couple of months after starting Brukinsa.
