Anyone out there with this combination!

I've had CLL for 6 years and been on Ibrutinib successfully for 3. However I was diagnosed with Liomyosarcoma in December last year and am currently being treated with Doxirubacin and Olaratumab. I am told there is no link between these 2 diseases as yet. Anyone else out there with this combination?

I had a soft tissue sarcoma, that was biopsied as DLBCL.. or a Richter's transformation. My treatment included Doxorubicin... 💉 the red devil.

Did they preform a biopsy, to rule out Richter's?

Hi Chris. I had a liver biopsy which confirmed that the tumour had spread to my liver. My haematologist was satisfied that it was not Richter's, which I had been anticipating. I am on my third cycle of treatment and a CT scan to follow to check if it is having any impact. How are you now? Colin.

I have adenocarcinoma in my liver stage four...Treated it once, and lucky I'm still here... FOLFIRI and Bev ( I call it Full Fury , but not sure who Bev is...chemo groupie perhaps? ) makes FCR look like chicken soup... 😃

Lungs full of fungi now..which puts the brakes on all future treatments for CLL as well...

Sorry to hear about the fungi, that is hard to work through.
