CLL, Spleen Recovery+recommendations
I had my first dose of Gazyva or Obinutuzumab was a month ago and have recently taken 2 doses of
Leukeran
as well. I was only able to take the initial dose of Gazyva due to a reaction to the medication.

Follow up on haematologist appointment for sharp rise in lymphocytes.
in my lymphocytes is caused by the CLL and not the cortisone, so I have to go back onto treatment, Bendamustine and Rituxan, it will take a couple of weeks to motivate for it on my medical aid and in the meantime to bring it back into check, they have put me onto 12 prednisone a day for a week plus

Leukeran (Chlorambucil) Rash?
In August, I started a course of monthly treatments with Gazyva and IVIg, and then 70mg of
Leukeran
at 15-day intervals. In November I began itching with each round of
Leukeran
, and then the itch became a rash. Now I'm covered in what resemble first and second-degree burns from waist to face.

Latest update....
Chlorambucil (
Leukeran
) and Obinutuzumab (gazyvaro). Apparently there will be no loss of hair, possibly mild diarrhoea and hopefully no sickness. She said that these drugs are very good for this Evans Syndrome he has now developed....

Want to Hear From a Man Who Has Lived With CLL for 38 Years? Read Doyle's Story Here!
First treated by local hematology/oncologist in Denver with
Leukeran
and prednisone. Likely before it was needed. Later seen by Dr Freireich at MDA. His people round tabled my case and chose Fludaribine over 2-CDA.

Ibrutinib with afib
Doctor put me on
leukeran
for about 4 weeks then switched to ibrutinib. White cell count dropped from a high of 88,000 to 20,000 but as that was taking place my heart went in to afib and I was short of breath and couldn't fall asleep.
