CLL Treatment Sequencing by Dr. Susan O'Brien
O'Brien, MD Chemotherapy is becoming less of a priority in the treatment paradigm of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) with the addition of the FDA-approved novel agents ibrutinib (
Imbruvica
), idelalisib (Zydelig), and venetoclax (Venclexta), explained Susan M. O’Brien, MD.

Ceflex and Imbruvica
Hi all, Has anybody taken an antibiotic while on
Imbruvica
? I’ve been on
imbruvica
for 10 days, and so far I’m doing fine, but a a small growth (like a pimple) has gotten infected. Nurse prescribed ceflex (antibiotic). A bit worried about taking both meds. Thank you.

CAR T-Cell Developments in Lymphoma Dr. Ian Flinn Highlights
. - One last publication to think about is the data we've seen involving Waldenström macroglobulinemia where rituximab was compared with the combination of ibrutinib (
Imbruvica
) and rituximab.

Feeling Good
Was put on
Imbruvica
11 days ago. Have had no side effects besides very positive results with lymph nodes reducing in size. I am 69 white male who continues to play golf and enjoys a glass of wine. Is it possible to think that in time I would be able to stop taking
Imbruvica
?

Is Imbruvica good or bad for you?
I went to several dermatologists who couldn't pinpoint anything until lately, the last diagnosis was it MAY be due to the
imbruvica
Reading more about this, I also found info that
imbruvica
can cause 2ndary cancers.

NEVER GIVE UP!
My oncologist started me on
IMBRUVICA
(3 capsules, 140mg each) in March 2017. The only “side effect” was bone pain in the beginning. Dr. H assured me that it was temporary & was in fact a good thing, an indication that the medication was working.

CLL Lyrica cramps
I am on
Imbruvica
for CLL, plus Lyrica for pain. The
Imbruvica
has been brilliant. The downsides from Lyrica seem to have been weight gain (10kg in 12 months), and leg cramps all night.

Heart side effects from 3mo of Imbruvica
I've stopped
Imbruvica
and the other alternative is regular IV chemo. ICK! I find that with past treatments, I have always been in that odd 1% of people that gets the last system on the list. But, it's severe sinus issues, fatigue, weakness.

Has anyone experienced leg swelling?
Hi I've been on
imbruvica
for 3 1/2 months and am experiencing a swollen left foot ankle and leg. My GP, oncologist and ID doctors are not sure what is causing this (past 1 1/2 months) They said the last resort is a lymphedema specialist Has anyone else experienced this? I'm getting desperate.

cracked fingers with Imbruvica
Hi everyone I think I may have come across a product that may help us suffering from the finger cracks while on
Imbruvica
. Two years ago when I was hospitalized with neutropenia my lips were severely cracked because of the chlorambucil I was taking.

involuntary catch or "shuddering" breath intake- just a survey
Related to
Imbruvica
? it doesn't happen all the time, coming in spells at times. My P.A. says the it happens sometimes when red cells are being destroyed, but blood work shows nothing. First noticed when my white blood cell count got high >90K.

I am now in the next phase of the Captivate Imbruvica plus Venetoclax trial. I have been Ramdomized!!!
I am now on the next phase being randomized today for either
imbruvica
or a placebo of
imbruvica
. I went into this arm because I was tested and I am MRD negative in the bone marrow . By definition I cannot tell what I have but I think I will know quickly based on the side effect profile .

planning to start Imbruvica treatment
Is any alternative to
Imbruvica
, since this medicine is quite expensive, and my Insurance will not cover in full. Is any Site/ place where I can buy / Order via Internet at cheaper price ? I am resident of large Caribbean Island.
