burning sensation on my scalp
I am Anja (61) from the Netherlands. I have had CLL since 2010. FCR in 2012. I am participating in the ACP 196 study since March this year. Then I started Ibrutinib. It has gone well for a while but since a month I have a very burning sensation on my scalp, and stitches and hair loss. Also nerve pains

Dr. Furman on the Diminishing Role of FCR
Hi, As we're getting ready to head to ASH this week, we wanted to post in response to a query that was posted originally on the CLLSLL io group forum. Dr. Richard Furman is their medical advisor and his response really puts the comparison of a therapy that has existed for decades with a therapy that

Round 2 FCR complete
I have completed round 2 of FCR and am past the lowest point (10 days post) so am starting to recover. The infusion days themselves were easy. I have a port so it is a simple hook up and away they go. No reactions day one and two, but by end of day 3 I was starting to feel some nausea. I take Ondansetron

Husband with CLL in Rituximab Therapy
Hello my name is Aylin. I'm new in the group. We live in Turkey so please forgive me when I make errors in my English :) My husband was diagnosed in 2012 with CLL at the age of 48. He didn't need a treatment until 2015. He had a FCR tratment when his white cells were very high and the platelet level

Just diagnosed
I don't what to think. The doctor said my FISH test is negative; no chromosomal damage. He is proposing FCR early treatment to the hospital tumor board based on my age of 55. I may lose my job and insurance soon. So if FCR is an option, I hope I can get it asap.

Road to a BMT... oops just got there
Hello Health Unlocked community, Since this forum and community offered me a great amount of support and kindness during our last crisis I thought I would come back to it. Last time you heard from me/us was when my husband Mark began failing on Ibrutinib in Feb. 2017 and he was going to start Venetoclax

Enlarged spleen
Quick update since my last post about spleen pain. I went for an ultrasound and my spleen size and weight has basically doubled. They've taken more bloods for profiling and prognosis, also getting a CT scan done on the 22nd. It's looking more likely I'll be getting treatment pretty soon, probably FCR

Post FCR treatment 3 months blood test just taken results lower then expected
Hi everyone! I am new to this site. I completed a 6 month cycle of FCR and I am now 3 months post treatment. I have been feeling good but have to make sure I do not over do it. Yesterday I went for my 3 month check up and had blood work. It did not go as well as expected. My white count is 1.3

Post-treatment results
My OH had 4 FCR treatments, each one reduced from the previous one because of his reactions (low platelets, fatigue). Last treatment was early August. Subsequent monthly blood tests show haemoglobin and platelet levels continuing to drop (10.3 down this month from 11.6; platelets 49 down from 52).

FCR after failing B/R?
I am 5 months post treatment with B/R and my ALC is moving up. My oncologist mentioned the possibility of FCR at some point. I am 72 years old and in good health. My question is shouldn't FCR be first line? Would you take FCR or Imbruvica? What are your thoughts? Thank you for your reply. Sue Atlanta

Elevated Lymphocyte Count 4 Months After Bendamustine/Rituxin
Hello Members: In mid-June I finished 6 months of Bendamustine/Rituxin. I saw my onc today and my lymph nodes are elevated (5.7) saw her last month and they were also elevated(5.0) She is suggesting that I may want to have FCR or Imbruvica when I need treatment again. Right now I am on hold until January

uti, cough, fever and other virus related symptoms
I was diagnosed Stage 4 SLL in December 2014 and started FCR the following March in 2015. The gap was due to my oncologist suddenly dying. This combo put me in remission for a year and a half. Came back full force (CT scan) in early 2017 and started Imbruvica then nodes went away again. My question:

Port installed-Chemo Round1 starts Monday
Opted for the Portacath to receive my chemo (in Canada done via infusion) of FCR. The Port installation was done yesterday morning, so the afternoon was a little uncomfortable but today I am quite fine. I chose the Port after advice from my daughter, sisters and nieces (all nurses) when asking whether

The Final Countdown
Hi All...tonight I accidentally stumbled onto this group. After reading several posts I didn't discover a post that mirrors my reality. On Labor Day September 2014, I noticed swelling on my chest. The touch was tender. I then made a visit to my primary care doctor. He examined my lumps and asked me
