I’m on Ibrutinib, 10 months in. Normal bloods, although platelets have dived from 160 to 111 in a week. Also my Lymphocytes also dropped from 2.7 to 1.8. Recently I had 3 episodes of burning and itchy skin that lasted for few minutes. First hands, then legs, then ears…… Stopped now but seemed quite strange. Anyone have any ideas or had similar?

Are you on any other medications or supplements that can increase the effect of ibrutinib? Or slow its metabolism? Skin reactions have occurred with this drug.

Nope. Consultant just responded. Rash not related to ibrutinib, and platelets drop probably due to Flu jab. I guess it’s just one of those things you get you can’t explain. If I didn’t have CLL I would had probably ignored it.
