While anything is possible, increase in swollen nodes with ibrutinib is unusual. If it doesn't turn around, see your doc. Brian Koffman CLLSociety.org

I started Ibrutinib last month and I had an increase in my nodes at about the same time you are, I'd say day 8 or 9. It didn't last and they went back down in about 2 days so hopefully yours are going down by now. I'm a week into my second month and things are going well. I hope things go as well for you.
