Median PFS for FCR treated CLL patients with IGHV-M was 14.6 years vs 4.2 years for patients with IGHV-UM. V+O and I+R look to be superior
An update of the long-term follow-up results from the original 300-patient FCR (
fludarabine
, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab) study initiated at MD Anderson in 1999,
Sustained remissions in CLL after frontline FCR treatment with very-long-term follow-up,
reports ~47% of patients with mutated IGHV

My chemo experience
The prognosis for bendamustine isn't as good as
fludarabine
- the likely effective period being 4 or 5 years as opposed to 15 years for
fludarabine
, but thats life. Overall, the post treatment fatigue and brain fog was a surprise and not a good one. But I wasn't in pain.

POST 3 - CAR-T cell therapy
Lymphodepletion {chemotherapy} will also commence: Cyclophosphamide {D-6} also
Fludarabine
for four days {D-6 to D-3} followed by two days rest and then Day 0 {14th June} will be the exciting day that I receive the first small dose of the modified T-cells.

STEM CELL TRANSPLANT FINALLY SCHEDULED (WE HOPE)
Hi everyone. As you may know, my husband was diagnosed with CLL back in 2013, treated with six cycles of FCR, and achieved a "full response with incomplete recovery of the bone marrow." He had severe complications after treatment, but the CLL never recurred. In November 2023 he began to experience

Asymptomatic Trandmission
Does anyone have any data or medical journal articles, addressing the contagious for either Pre symptomatic infections or individuals that have asymptomatic viral infections.. Also, in my home state of Utah in the USA, I have not been able to find any published data on the current incident or presence

V + O for R/R CLL post FCR
I sent this to skyshark based on some info he posted but I was[u] hoping for the whole group to chime in.[/u] I had 3 rounds of FCR in 2018 stopped because of profound neutropenia. I relapsed exactly 2 years later and though I did not start Tx until the 5 year point in 2023, would have gladly started

Burning tongue and metallic taste .
I was dx 10 years ago. Had FCR, Ibrutinib, and Venetoclax. I am on Venetoclax now for 18 months after 6 times of V+O. A year ago I lost my taste sense and everything tastes metallic,but the worse is a burning tongue sensation. Does it have any connetion to CLL or Venetoclax ?Gidi

Is it the time for initial treatment?
As I previously stated, my wife was diagnosed with CLL in 2020. Her markers are 13q deletion, 12 trisomy, and TP53, with IGHV muted. She is still in W&W form. So far, I've learned via reading literature and numerous posts about lymphocyte doubling time, lactate dehydrogenase, and lymph nodes. Her lymphocyte

Second Treatment -Feeling scared
My husband has CLL and finished FCR in April 2019. Due to low platelets, enlarged spleen and ALC doubling he needs to start his next treatment even though he feels wellV&R is the treatment starting on 15th May. I have researched extensively including within this group, and am aware of the treatment

My husband was diagnosed in 2010 at the age of 40. 2013 he had FCR. 11 years later, he is in week 5 of venteclax, Rituximab to follow next month. Swollen lymph nodes have disappeared.

Relative risk for secondary bone marrow cancer within 5 years after initial CLL chemoimmunotherapy treatment (typically BR or FCR)
In countries where targeted therapies ('brutinibs, venetoclax, obinutuzumab/rituximab) are now available, the remaining reason that FCR (
Fludarabine
+Cyclophosphamide+Rituximab) is still sometimes recommended for the treatment of CLL is that it can be curative* about 55% of the time - but [u]

Reply to issues with Spleen
Hi, I agree with most of these comments on here that the enlargement of your spleen is an indication perhaps that you are ready for some form of treatment, not removal. I had chemotherapy in 2020 and my spleen was massive. After a treatment cycle of FCR for 6 months and neutropenia sepsis for 10

Recently started Acalabrutinib
Hi everyone, My father has recently started Acalabrutinib 5 days ago. He was diagnosed with CLL in 2007 and has received FCR (twice) and Benda-Ritux once. His CLL only went into partial remission on benda-ritux and has come back after one year since his last cycle of BR. I am worried regarding the

uMRD 6
I have been living for the one year point on V plus O to get the clonal sequence uMRD6 bone marrow test done so I could decide if I wanted to continue with a Venetaclax. Technically, I consider myself partially treated rather than relapsed or refractory, because I only received three of the six cycles

Wife getting MMR vaccine booster - isolate or not?
I'm an SLL patient, 55 years old, now about 2.5 years into remission after 6 FCR treatments. I just recovered from a recent (and thankfully mild) bout of shingles. My shingles was so mild that my GP wasn't convinced it actually was shingles! She had me tested for herpes zoster antibodies, and for good
