Hi, Davis, from Drugs. com:
Calquence is also used alone or with obinutuzumab (Gazyva) to treat chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL; a type of cancer that begins in the white blood cells) and small lymphocytic lymphoma
Calquence can make it easier for you to bleed. Contact your doctor or seek emergency medical attention if you have any bleeding that will not stop.

Call your doctor at once if you have signs of bleeding inside your body, such as: dizziness, weakness, confusion, headache, speech problems, black or bloody stools, pink or brown urine, or coughing up blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds.

Calquence may cause serious side effects. Call your doctor at once if you have:

unusual bleeding - nosebleeds, bleeding gums, abnormal vaginal bleeding, any bleeding that will not stop;

bleeding inside your body - weakness, dizziness, confusion; problems with speech, prolonged headache, bloody or tarry stools, pink or brown urine; coughing up blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds;

heart rhythm disorders - dizziness, chest pain, shortness of breath, fast or irregular heart rate, feeling light-headed;

low blood cell counts - fever, chills, tiredness, mouth sores, skin sores, easy bruising, unusual bleeding, pale skin, cold hands and feet, feeling light-headed or short of breath; or

signs of infection - fever, chills, tiredness, flu-like symptoms, cough with mucus, chest pain, trouble breathing.

Common Calquence side effects may include:

bruising;

headache, feeling tired;

MUSCLE OR JOINT PAIN (my emphasis)

low blood cell counts;

diarrhea; or

cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, sneezing, sore throat.

Hope this helps and not TMI. This is new for you, right?
Take care, David
