What Is Newest Re Treatment For Waldenstroms

Ceil, I was diagnosed with WM in the fall of 2018. My initial treatment was 6 infusions of Rituximab and Bendamustine. This shrunk my tumor considerably and brought my blood numbers back into line. In early 2022 my tumor began to grow again. I began taking Zanabrutinib-trade name Brukinsa-orally in March of 2022.

It has reduced the size of my tumor and brought my blood numbers back into line. I take 2 large capsules 2 times a day for a total of 4 capsules.

After about 8 months of Brukinsa my blood calcium spiked up to a very high level, and I was experiencing symptoms of Hypercalcemia. I took a 90 day reprieve from the Brukinsa and those symptoms went away.

I am currently taking the Brukinsa with no side effects.

I hope that this answer is helpful, and I hope that you get great results!!
