How are you managing Brukinsa side effects?

Posted by sveta25 @sveta25, Feb 6 12:35pm

My husband is taking Brukinsa for 3 weeks now and so far so good, no bad side affects, WBC is lower but so are platelets so minor bruising and also constipation.
Any comments on using it longer than that ?

@loribmt just to clarify, no prostate cancer, the SCC is a skin cancer and PNI involves nerves—squamous cell carcinoma with perineural invasion—and thus radiation to treat it. Brukinsa is treating lymphoma (MZL) for which I’ve had several treatments during the past 23 years at Mayo. Sorry for the confusion.
