I started Brutkinsa Aug 28. On Sept 12th, my Dr visit showed that my WBC doubled from 14K to 28K (I should note that the reason I was started on it so early is because I previously contacted Cll caused encephalitis). I have my next Dr appt Oct 3rd. I'm curious how long it has taken other people on a BTK inhibitor (e.g. Ibrutinib, acalabrutinib, zanabrutinib) for their WBC to be down to normal range again? I'm very watchful for signs of encephalitis, but I'll feel more comfortable once my WBC is within the normal range again.
