Nails after/with Ibrutinib

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you can have nails after (or in my case still on low dose) Ibrutinib. Almost 4 years on Biotin and on only 140 Ibrutinib a day and my nails are finally growing again. Still lots of ridges and white markings but all one length. This post will probably jinx me!

Hi. I am on Ibritinub for almost 14 months . 420MG each day . Cracked nails most of the time . Very hard to manage but I use Hard to Hard nail polish which helps a little bit not a lot .

Hi, Becky. You and I have the same engagement ring. Timeless classic. Good luck with your treatment. I've had CLL for 16 years. 😇

It is a great ring. Not huge but perfect! Hope your CLL is behaving itself!
