@annedallas Everyone with CLL has a compromised immune system, so infections (like colds, sinus infections, etc.) are common. If the IG(g) level falls a lot and you’re getting infections, you might be helped by IVIG infusions)I get them quarterly). As noted earlier, everyone is different. If symptoms appear, you’ll know it—and consult your medical team. Just live your life and try not to worry too much about it. I’m 20 years in, travel internationally extensively (typing this in China), and have been taking ZANUBRUTINIB for nine years. It doesn’t have to change your life!

@minnesotajim sorry but what is an IVIG infusion?

@minnesotajim
What level does your IGg need to be before they will Normally give you IVIG? I was diagnosed in two thousand seventeen and am also on zanbrutinib 2 years now I have been afraid to travel and i'm tired of staying home and wearing a mask all the time whenever I go out.
