I've recently started taking Copiktra 25mg capsules to treat my Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) and I've been curious about others' experiences with this medication in controlling the growth and spread of the cancer cells. The drug information provided by the healthcare team was overwhelming, and I can’t seem to wrap my head around the possibility and severity of the side effects. Does anyone have any tips for recognizing and managing these side effects? I am particularly concerned about the serious ones. So far I've experienced some fatigue and upset stomach, but nothing too severe. The worst was having to miss a few workdays due to fatigue and muscle pain. But I understand it’s a necessary evil. What are your experiences and advice?
