"Received Gazyva-Venetoclax combo in 2020-2021 to treat CLL/SLL, got a complete response and am still cruising along in Jan. 2025 with no meds; I am starting to see lymph node enlargement and will follow up as scheduled in March. I really liked a treatment with an endpoint. No problems with the pre-medications or infusions, and though the combo sent me into neutropenia in the middle of the pandemic, I didn't catch COVID until they had Paxlovid. The combo did require frequent bloodwork, especially with the neutropenia. I am hoping to use the same combo when the time comes for retreatment! The alternative, Imbruvica, is not as easy on folks with cardiac symptoms as this treatment."

"Began treatment January - June 2015. First day was rough due to an increase in blood pressure and a deluge of dead cancer cells. Going on ten years, and all CBCs are normal as of 10/2024."

"I was very happy with the results. I was up to 83,000 white count, and after the first treatment, it was down to 5,300. After one month, it was still down. I go back in Sept. for my next blood test."

"I had 8 infusions. I did very good, usually around 6 hrs of drip. Went to the gym after 3 of them. Ran a 9-mile race the day after. One of them was just very tired the next day. I now take Calquence. White blood cells went from 45,000 to 5,000. So happy. It's been 2 years now. Life is great. Love the ones you love, and be kind to all."
