What unexpected side effects have you experienced?
Blood cancer and treatment can lead to unexpected side effects. What side effects surprised you?
Not having the energy to do the things I used to do. Hiking in the woods and having a long weekend outdoors reconnecting and recharging are more of a challenge, it takes a few days to recover from the expelled energy.
Brukinsa caused strange cough for 6 months and high blood pressure (I took medication to control this but not effective at this time) for 4 months. Stop Brukinsa and ill affect stopped in one month. Second month blood count had been 7,100 than increased to 8,000. Begin Brukinsa after 60 day delay at 50% original dose which seems good since my count is already low. I wonder it "control" of bad cells will be good with reduced Brukinsa??
I was not expecting to have a blood clot in my thigh. I also was not expecting to have lymphedema in my legs.
