I have been in treatment a month and my night sweats are better. I feell a little tired but. the side effects so far have not been that bad. I did not ramp up on venetoclax yet but hopefully it will be ok. Anyone have experience with these drugs?

It's great to hear the night sweats are improving after a month — that's a real quality of life win! Many MyLymphomaTeam members have shared similar experiences with fatigue during treatment, noting it can linger but often improves over time. As for venetoclax, here are some commonly reported side effects to be aware of as the dose increases:

- Anemia (low red blood cells)
- Neutropenia (weakened immune system)
- Diarrhea
- Nausea

One serious but rare risk during the ramp-up phase is tumor lysis syndrome, where cancer cells break down rapidly and can overwhelm the kidneys. To manage this risk, doctors sometimes monitor patients closely or provide IV fluids during the early stages. It's really important to report any new or worsening symptoms to your care team during the ramp-up, especially fever, chills, or significant fatigue, as these could signal infection or low blood counts.

Staying in close contact with your medical team throughout this process is the best way to stay ahead of any side effects. You're doing great so far! 💪
