CLL with pleural effusions and Ibrutinib
FCR
had to be stopped. I have recently been on Ibrutinib for two months. Is there any evidence that over time, Ibrutinib will resolve the effusion problem ? David.

Atypical CLL
He was started on
FCR
but it was not as effective as the Dr had hoped. (He had 3 doses.) he then had Rituximab and Bendamustine but again, his lymph nodes and spleen are still enlarged and the Dr says it's not looking typical of CLL. He's had a full CT scan, bone marrow test, etc...

FCR
ending in February and is in (partial) remission. His white cell counts are low n = 1.4 l=0.4 and lymphocytes are stable so far so mostly good news. we are getting on with life.

Bone Marrow Exam
So all complete now, good to go, and waiting to be randomised by the central computer in Leeds into one of the two arms of the FLAIR trial,
FCR
or IR. Glad I'm not choosing in my case. Kind regards and thank-you for all your excellent posts. Ernest

FLAIR Trial (IR vs FCR) Sign Up
After that a few days for the computerized randomization process to decide which arm of the trial I'm in (
FCR
or IR) and then the treatment can start. Hopefully my spleen can rest a bit easy now, knowing that help is on the way :-) Best Wishes to All, Ernest

FLAIR: Front Line Assessment of Ibrutinib + Rituximab ("CLL10" Trial of IR vs FCR)
Just been to meet the treatment nurse, and collect the paperwork to apply for the FLAIR (CLL10) trial, which I’m told is now open. Hard to get my head around that 4 years of Watch and Wait may be coming to a close. My ALC was about 227 at the start of this month and yet I feel as fit as any time in

Purpura rash with normal platelets
Had ITP 6 months before starting
FCR
Chemo for CLL. Platelets were up 'n' down during chemo to as low as 38. That was two years ago and still platelets are up 'n' down. In August they were 152 but still in range and no concerns.

How long have I got DR>>>?
I am still on W & W feeling mostly well apart from recurring indigestion...my white blood count however is increasing and am told that if it has doubled in a year treatment (
FCR
) would normally be recommended. So remain in state of uncertainty like so many.

First day on IBRUTINIB
The 2 courses of
FCR
have reduced my lymph nodes and WBC considerably so I may be starting Ibrutinib from a good base. My wife and I are very positive and hopeful. David.

What kind of research can we trust?
(Meanwhile we live in hope that for those of us that needed
FCR
treatment, that chemotherapy regime may indeed extend our lives and for a few with the right genetics, even cure us of CLL. Plus there are all the new non chemo treatments that we have a high expectation will be game changers.)

Generic Drugs
I have been taking the same drugs for a few years. I take Stalevo, Ropinerole, Trihexyphenidyl and half Sinemet CR. These have worked well for me. However, my GP has advised that they intend to change my Ropinirole tablet with a tablet called Repinex XL This appears to be the generic trade name and

CLL specialists ?
My
FCR
treatment has been stopped after 2 courses due to a new problem - fluid on my lungs. I am awaiting another bone marrow biopsy and CT scan. Depending on what my haematologist has to say in due course, I may request another opinion with a CLL specialist. I am in Hereford.

I think those on
FCR
wear bracelets with warnings of no-live vaccines etc. In my case I'm still (just) on "Watch and Wait" / "Active Management and Care" (however best that is put), so I'm not sure what if anything I'd put on the card, except perhaps "CLL".
