"Venetoclax saved my life after traditional 7/3 chemo didn't work. I was 50 years old with AML and tolerated it very well. Without venetoclax I probably wouldn't be here."

"I have taken venetoclax in combination with 7/3 chemo for my bi-allelic CEPBA-mutated AML, and it has helped for sure! There are some side effects. I originally started off on a 7-day course, and it took me twice as long to recover for the next round of chemo and more blood product transfusions. So we did 3 days. It has not been near as rough, but it dropped my blood counts within 3 days. I don't find chemo as harsh as this medicine, and I recover quicker from just chemo, BUT this medicine has worked wonders for me, and there are medications to combat the symptoms. (Fatigue, neutropenia, bruising, tiredness, weakness, headaches, gum pain)"
