For Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia "This is the best drug I've been on for CLL. I never upped it to 400. I stayed at 100, and it's done everything. I was at 464,000 on white blood cells when I started. It quickly brought me down to normal range, like in 2 months. Only side effect has been chronic UTI."

For Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia "Venclexta has worked wonderfully for me. When my ibrutinib stopped working and my counts began to increase, I was moved to Venclexta with a 6-month infusion cycle of rituximab. I have completed that cycle now and am back to 3-month follow-ups with the Dr. My counts are absolutely normal and have been almost since I started taking it."

For Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia "I am on cycle 4 of Gazyva and Venclexta. I have experienced zero side effects and feel great. The Venclexta reduced the size of large lymph nodes from day one, and they are now non-palpable. I take the medication with my evening meal and can't even taste it. Hoping it continues to work so smoothly."

For Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia "I was DX'ed with CLL in 2006, then in 2014 had my 1st chemotherapy (F.C.R). I relapsed in 2022 & started on V with rituximab. In Australia, we are only on V for 2 yrs. I'm on 400 mg a day, 4 x 100 mg tabs. In the 20 months I've been on V, it has caused fatigue & the odd bout of diarrhea, but both are manageable. I have found that my head goes wonky if I don't drink plenty of water after taking V. Within 12 months of starting V, my bloodwork returned to normal except for low platelets, but even they have now come back to almost normal. Tablets are fairly easy to swallow with water, but they are a large tablet. I would definitely recommend V to anybody who has CLL. The full cost of V in Australia is A$7400 per month, but it is subsidized by the gov, so at the most, I would pay A$48.50, and if you're on a pension or health care card, A$7.70."

For Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia "Easy! I combined my Venclexta treatment with Gazyva infusions. I was improving almost immediately. No side effects except mild fatigue occasionally. Never got sick during year-long treatment. Hoping for a deep and long-lasting remission!"
