Hola.

Tuve que suspender Ibrutinib durante 15 dias. Y gran desilucion: aumente mis globulos blancos de 9.300 que tenia hace 1 mes a 19.900 y me aumentaron algunos ganglios. Ahora volvi a Ibrutinib y tengo miedo de que no funcione. O es que tatda en volver a funcionar?Alguien paso por esta experiencia? Gracias. Saludos

Hi. I had to suspend Ibrutinib for 15 days. And great disappointment: increase my white blood cells from 9,300 I had 1 month ago to 19,900 and some nodes increased. Now I went back to Ibrutinib and I'm afraid it will not work. Or is it that tatda in return to work? Did someone go through this experience? Thank you. regards

Hi Bixilon,

Pausing Ibrutinib dose for 10 days or 2 weeks is often used when surgery is needed or when a patient has severe side effects. The reaction you had with nodes and blood counts is seen by many patients. Also, please follow your ALC Absolute Lymphocyte Count or Lymph#, and not WBC White Blood Count, since infections and other causes not related to CLL can alter the WBC. The ALC or Lymph# is a better indicator of your CLL.

Hola Bixilon,

La suspensión de la dosis de Ibrutinib durante 10 días o 2 semanas a menudo se usa cuando se necesita cirugía o cuando un paciente tiene efectos secundarios graves. Muchos pacientes ven la reacción que tuvo con los nódulos y los recuentos sanguíneos. Además, sígale a su recuento total de linfocitos ALC o linfa n. °, y no al recuento de glóbulos blancos del leucocito bovino, ya que las infecciones y otras causas no relacionadas con la leucemia linfocítica crónica pueden alterar el recuento leucocitario. El ALC o Lymph # es un mejor indicador de su CLL.
