For Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia "Worked very quickly to bring my counts close to normal (within 2 weeks) after a 3-month buffering period on ibrutinib. I do eat twice what I normally would, and I am craving protein. I am not putting on weight nor losing weight. Only side effect is a strange muscle soreness, but I am not sure if that is DOMS from exercise, the drug itself, or I recovered poorly from an exercise session due to the drug. Early days, but a very positive experience. All other bloods normal. Incredible how quick it worked for me."

Venetoclax for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia "Worked on fixing blood counts but caused side effects over time and had to stop. I had extreme muscle pain and gained about 20 pounds in about a year. Previously had FCR chemo and then ibrutinib."

For Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia "I am just ending month 11 of venetoclax, teaming it up with obinutuzumab for the first 6 months. My blood work has been normal for 6 months. A bone marrow biopsy showed no CLL cells last week. I experienced sore joints, sore muscles, and a cumulative (worsening) lack of energy and exhaustion. It seemed to be worse month after month. I also gained 60 pounds over the 11 months of treatment. I worked up to 400 mg daily. I am looking forward to stopping venetoclax and hope these troublesome side effects dissipate."
