How did your relapse become apparent Anna? Did your lymphs rise and/or your lymph nodes start to enlarge?

I've been on IB for over 3 years. I've had a lot of side effects which have got less and less troublesome. But I do have a couple of effects that I'd rather not cope with. Had conversations with my CLL consultant and when Aclabrutinib is licensed here, I'll move to that and let's hope get on better.

My first half year or so was quite difficult but I'm now generally feeling really OK. and consider myself extremely extremely lucky to have been able to have IB as first line treatment. My blood results are good after 3 years on IB. I do get tired and need to take care of myself.. rest, good food, exercise, good sleep.

3 years. Feel good. No problems. Very happy with results.

Three wonderful years. No complaints thus far. All labs are in normal range and I’m very active. Good luck. Sally

Two years this coming August. Normal bloods and I feel great. I've been through some rough patches of side effects but nothing recently.
