My husband has been on Ibrutinib for 9 months with very good results. His blood results are finally in the normal range.

Many of our members currently undergoing treatment are on Ibrutinib/Imbruvica and have shared their experiences, as you'll find by reading these results from a search on 'Ibrutinib' in this community:

Hi Laurag78

Reading your post I wonder what circumstance has led to you asking this question. Has this treatment been recommended for you ?

Best wishes

Hi Again Laura

I had forgotten and had to remind myself that it is your Mum who has Cll.

Very worrying being a carer, harder actually sometimes than being the patient.

Is this the treatment path that has been advised, sure our community can reassure you. Look after yourself and stay strong for your Mum.

Best wishes

I've been on it for 3 months with excellent results. Blood work is in the normal range except for white blood count.........that is now at 33,000 from a high of 300,000 in January.
