@tezy15plus5 My husband started Brukinsa this month after 3 years W&W, he takes Allopurinol once a day and Brukinsa twice a day. Tomorrow is his first CBC test, hope his WBC is getting down after been 201 at the beginning of the 2026. He ended up in the hospital for a week with WBC 237 at the time of admitting. On top of it his CLL» found its way” in to his brain:(
So far no side effects but it’s been only 9 days since he started medicine, we have a big hope for this targeted treatment.

@sveta25. I have found Brukinsa to be amazingly helpful, as I was recovering also from radiation from throat and neck cancer. My CLL was slow in coming - might have had it for a couple of years. I was slowing down from a very active life, but considering my age expected that to happen. The blood test told the story.
My next oncologist apt. is the end of this week, after 2+ months of Brukinsa - I feel normal and have reinstated all my activities and exercise. We are praying for a much improved report from my blood tests, possibly normal. Be positive, keep faith, and talk with God.
