I had to stop Calquence. I felt crazy on it. I mean literally. I’m taking Brukinsa now and slowly working my way up to a therapeutic dose as recommended by the doctor after the bad experience with Calquence. It’s been a month and so far so good. 🤞Good luck to you!

So sorry to hear. Have you talked to your doctor? There are many therapies for this disease. I would think your doctor would switch to something else if the side effects are that bad. Your mental health is tantamount to your recovery. Please let us know what you find. Anxiety is crushing and debilitating.

I guess my first ? is whether the timing is just related to the Calqueunce? We are confronted with so much, daily, with this guillotine over our heads and always in the back of our minds. You're in my thoughts.
