Husband returning to treatment
After 10 months of well-managed anemia (PRCA), using cyclosporine, my husband's WBC is rising, and he's likely to need CLL treatment again (he had 2 rounds of FCR 2 years ago). We're looking for CLL treatment options that will be less likely to trigger the anemia/blood transfusions.

Update on Rituximab
A proportion of the test group have seen lasting improvement, so not a cure all but B cell depletion has some promise. How large a proportion are of the phenotype which responds is still in the ongoing research http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn27813-antibody-wipeout-found-to-relieve-chronic-fatigue-syndrome.html

Today, I joined CLLSA
I was in a 'wait and watch' situation until May 2015, when I became part of a Randomized Phase III Study of Bendamustine plus
Rituximab
versus Ibrutinib plus
Rituximab
versus Ibrutinib alone in untreated older patients [I will be 69 in mid-August] with CLL. I am on the Ibrutinib only arm.

Rituximab hailed as a breakthrough for millions with Chronic Fatigue
Rituximab
wipes out most of the body's B-cells, which are the white blood cells that make antibodies.

Why they draw 10 tubes of our bloods and comments on chemo from patients
Friends, This week the CLL Society Inc. finally learned why they need so much blood of ours every time we are seen at a research center. We learned what a biorepository is and how it is changing how CLL research is done. Donna Neuberg, Sc. D. from Dana Farber Cancer Institute is the director of biostatistics

What next?
Methotrexate made me unbelievably sick, sulpha didn't work, allergic reaction to
rituximab
and toxi(something or other by infusion I can't remember!!!!!!!!!!!) and now leflonamide is doing absolutely nothing! I have arthritis in every joint and it is just getting steadily worse.

Low Platelets
I have just completed my fifth year in remission following four rounds of FCR (2009/10). My latest clinic appointment yesterday showed no significant enlarged nodes, lymphocytes 1.58 and all other blood results well in the normal range except for platelets. These now read 96 and were 112 in April

We also share my comments and background on an important oral abstract presented at the 20th Congress of the European Hematology Association (EHA), June 11-15, 2015 on venetoclax (ABT-199 or GDC-199) and
rituximab

The countdown begins
Had my hemp visit yesterday and my WBC is stable at 150k but my platelets have dropped to 127k. Pretty disappointed as all my other numbers have been pretty good all along. We are going to wait 3 months before we make any decisions but if it continues I am looking at treatment in the next 6-12 months

What next
I had
rituximab
last August (which failed) and in March of this year I started toxciclumab injection. Today I've received the news I didn't want to hear I have to stop it. I had injection weekly for 4 weeks then my white count dropped.

Infusions
Hopefully this will tie me over while I wait for an appointment to start
rituximab
. God I hope this one helps. I am so frustrated at the moment.

Continuing FCR
My husband had no reactions to the
Rituximab
infusion in hospital, was very nauseous and a bit sick for a few days from about day 5, and has had severe, painful conjunctivitis and incredibly itchy spots covering his body (seems to be a reaction to one/some of the drugs).

Tocilizumab injections
All ready tried
rituximab
infusion so worried my options are running out. I've been off work since November & money's becoming an issue now. As a single parent with a mortgage to pay I need to get back to work. Feeling disheartened today & try hard not to google what the something else could be!

Biologic or Immune Therapies for CLL
These include
rituximab
(Rituxan), ofatuzumab (Arzerra), and obinituzumab (Gazyva). Among other topics, I discuss the difference between type I and type II monoclonal antibodies.

Just curious.........
My husband has GPA (Wegener's) and it's coming under control with
Rituximab
, but he's had to have loads of operations to deal with symptoms that have arrived.
