Since The Weather Has Changed And It Is Much Cooler, I Have Been Feeling 90% Better. Is This Somewhat Normal..??

Ready to start Brukinsa, and now I am second guessing the decision. When I went to my on a month ago, I was feeling really bad, and he said it was time to start based on how I felt. Part of me says don’t do it, but part of me thinks my body may handle it better if I am feeling a little better, versus feeling really bad, as I was all summer! Thoughts??

Hi all.
I've been taking brukinsa since Sept 2023.
Four pills a day. The first day or two I was dizzy but that has passed. I do get bruise like spots that go away in a few days. BUT I hike and cover 10K steps daily.
And I feel great. Previously I had 6 rounds of hyper cvad and spent 62 nights in the hosp. Right now I credit brukinsa and excercise for my seemngly good health.
Someone said, If I hadn't seen you last year I would never know that you were ever sick.
Be well.

Changes were very subtle. The primary reason for med shift due to headaches from old med. I could function normally, no sickness after Bruki start-up....

Richard, how often do you get checked by your oncologist to make sure your organs are not being damaged in any way? I got the feeling it would be monthly, at least in the beginning .
