Venetoclax and calquence combo for Cll
Anyone have experience with V and
Calquence
together? My husband has been on
calquence
4 months but Haemotolgist states his bone marrow still 80 to 90% full of cancerous lymphocytes. Doc wants V and R but husband has had no issues with
Calquence
and would prefer to stay on it along with Venetoclax.

CoPay Assistance from LLS (Leukemia & Lymphoma Society) USA
I just started taking Acalabrutinib /
Calquence
one week ago and the $2500 per month that my Medicare Part D does not pay is being covered by assistance from the LLS. And my 2020 tax return AGI Gross was well above what I thought any of the charitable agencies would approve.

Calquence

Treatment advice after calquence fails? Pain relief advice?
The acalabrutinib (
calquence
) was like a miracle!! After thinking we were losing her she was well again. Then suddenly on 3rd Jan this year she noticed the lump in her neck swelling again and she is now bed ridden in so much pain and awaiting an urgent ct scan and biopsy of the neck lump.

Go to the wedding, or not?
I am triple-vaxxed and boosted; my husband, who is on
Calquence
for CLL treatment, received Regeneron in December, and the Evusheld injections a few weeks ago.

MABs - Encouraging, but not really
Has anyone taking
Calquence
received a MAB infusion? Waiting to hear from my Dr to confirm it’s safe and doesn’t cause any drug interactions. Seems unlikely, but I want to be certain. 2.

Calquence and chills
I have been on
Calquence
for 6 month (previously on Imbruvica for 3.5 years). I frequently get chilled late in the afternoon. Last evening I was really chilled from hands to the toes. Does anyone else experience such chills?

MY JOURNEY: COVID, EVUSHELD, PAXLOVID and CLL
Started a clinical trial of Acalabrutinib (
Calquence
) in July, 2016 at NIH. Despite complex karyotype (no 17P or TP53), unmutated, Notch, Zap70, biclonal, etc., I achieved MRD Undetectable in both bone marrow and peripheral blood in July 2017. I am a lucky and rare bird!

PALPITATIONS and CALQUENCE (Alacabrutinib)
Interested in knowing what simple ways you found to deal with palpitations that increase fatigue while on that medication. I'm scheduled to speak to my doctor in 2 weeks.

How long does it take to recover from Calquence
I have been off
Calquence
for a month but still can’t get over weakness, fatigue or in general feel like doing anything. I have been checked out by cardiology and PC physician. Is this normal for CLL? The oncologists say my cancer is well under control. I was treated with
Calquence
for 4 months.

CALQUENCE (Acalabrutinib) not working right after Covid vaccination?
I was on Acalabrutinib for over two years without any complications or side effects. I was vaccinated in January 2021. About 3 months after that I started to have issues with medication. I had to switch to Zanubritinb about month ago. Anybody else notices issues with their medications (any medication

Starting a new chapter in life
Starting
calquence
Thursday, I guess no more vaccines, was really wanting that 3rd covid shot. And about that diarrhea I'm a little worried since I'm a truck driver 🤭
