Imbruvica Treatment

A MyLeukemiaTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi! I have been on Imbruvica for CLL for 52 months. I wonder if there will be a time when it won't work. Does anyone have an experience where they have taken this for a long time?

I have been taking Imbruvica (Ibrutinib) for CLL for about 3 years. My lab work continues to show normal parameters. I just graduated up to a re-test of my blood each six months instead of the previous three months. I am 79 years of age.

I also have SLL/CLL. My CLL is very agressive but I have been doing so well on Imbruvica...I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. I will pray for you Patricia!!

I've been on it since 2015 then in November nodes starting enlargeing and by Jan WBC went from 8 to 33 then 45 then 46 now 47. Am under going Ritxiun infusions. Had my third today last one next Monday (hopefully) but so far WBC have not lowered, they are hoping it comes down. Still taking Imbruvica as well. Was told I will be taking it forever. Thank god for insurance.
