Zanubrutinib for Waldenström Macroglobulinemia "After 6 B&R chemo sessions, chemo wasabi stopped due to a mutant cell that was blocking its effectiveness. After nearly 2 months, I was put on Brukinsa and have had little or no side effects. Slight runny nose, occasional minor back pain. I feel like myself again. Looking forward to my first lab since starting. I hope it’s working!"

Zanubrutinib for Waldenström Macroglobulinemia "My dose is currently 160 mg once per day. I have few side effects. Some muscle and joint issues, which are resolved pretty well by stretching, exercise, and relaxation techniques. It has given me my life back. I was using a walker when first diagnosed with lymphoma. Now I can walk, hike, and bike for an hour. Fatigue is definitely an issue, so I need to rest in between activities. While I can't just take off for a day like I used to, I am still living a good life. It is crazy expensive, but between Medicare, my supplemental insurance, and help from the manufacturer, I haven't had any copay. I'm so grateful."

Zanubrutinib for Waldenström Macroglobulinemia "With TE thrombocytémie essentielle after 18 years (Hydréa). No longer supported, Hydréa replaced by Anagrelide. Plus MGUS (IgM) => Lymphome B with small cell CD5 négatif (Small B-cell lymphoma) = WM. Anemia. At the same time, change Hydréa to Anagrelide and Brukinsa started 8 months after. No problems, just reduce the Anagrelide dose from 2/day to 1-2-1-2 ... /day (pellets too low with 2/d)). So no problem after 2 years and IgM ~0.0 now. It works very well for my Waldenström disease. Regards."
