For Waldenström Macroglobulinemia "On Brukinsa 2 months 2 pills am/pm Hgb up from 9.6 to 12.6 IGM down from 5200 to 1350. No more difficulty in breathing taking stairs. Energy and focus up doing a lot more. Normal muscle recovery after exercise. Large bruise on left arm from blood pressure cuff. 3x/week will go down to 2x/week. Small paper cut on finger bled a lot more. Small wound on sole of foot taking a long time to heal. Itchy skin rash on forehead using Cortaid. With Medicare and Kaiser California and being on low income PGE Care program cost $0.00 covered 100%. Otherwise cost would be annual deductible plus $234/month for the drug."

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.
