Hi Andrea,
Thank you for sharing. I’m wondering if doing Rituxan again was discussed as an option? Do you mind sharing why you chose Brukinsa?
TIA

Hi Monica,
I didn’t want to do Rituxan again, because I believe it has caused me chronic problems. My immunity never recovered and I now must get immunoglobulin infusions every four weeks. That only helps with IgG. I have low IgM and no IgA. I believe the lack of IgA has resulted in chronic digestive problems…lactose and fructose intolerance especially.
So, I opted to try Brukinsa. It’s too early yet to tell if it will work for me. I like the ease of taking a pill at home.
