Welcome Anilbhard from 🇨🇦

Nice to see you can get Imbruvica (ibrutinib) in India, there are a couple of patients here from your country.

I'm currious why you started on a reduced dose , since the standard protocols are 3x140 mg?

Be certain to keep a high level of hydration, it makes a big difference.

My Onco doctor wanted to start and see the effect on my haemoglobin, which was quite below normal. He said he likely increase the dose later

Hi Anilbhard

Sadly you have had more experience of this disease than most of us here.

I think maybe you did not have many replies to your original post as the e-mails to the group in my case did not work that day, and your post is not restricted to the community which inhibits responses.

Click the little down arrow at the bottom of your post and you should be able to restrict to the community.

I have no personal experience to share being treatment naive, but wanted to welcome you to the community.

Best wishes
