Welcome to Connect, @cmillard. Thank you for sharing your experience with CLL and Imbruvica. It’s great you had positive success with your treatments. As cancer research continues to evolve, the newer targeted drugs offer hope to so many patients.

I know the term chemo can illicit immediate fear in people and it often gets an undeserving bad rap. Chemotherapy, while not always pleasant to go through at the time, can prove to be a lifeline to getting their cancer under control. And interestingly enough, has many of the similar side effects to your experience of your non-chemo treatment. Is Imbruvica an ongoing treatment for you? How long did the side effects linger?
