He had gout, which he had never had before, with the Imbruvica, in his foot, elbow and hand. I’m not sure if that’s very common. I did feel like if there was a side effect to be had he got it over the course of a year and a half, but he has heart issues as well so that didn’t help. I’m very glad he persevered through treatments. We learned a lot. There are ways to manage side effects, and I’m so pleased that the Venclexta hasn’t bothered him. Cancer treatment has come a long way. At the office they didn’t want to expound on any side effects because everyone is different, but I felt like a little more education would’ve been helpful. Even a small thing like drinking lots and lots of water helps treatment. I could go on and on🙂

Oh, such a good suggestion about drinking lots of water and so easily forgotten about if not mentioned.
Thank you.
