What do we know about a pill called Imbrovica (Ibrutinib) I understood that it is very effective

[@LymphomaAction]

Ibrutinib is a type of targeted drug called a BTK inhibitor and used to treat some types of lymphoma. You have ibrutinib as tablets that you take by mouth once a day. You generally carry on taking it unless your lymphoma gets worse, or you develop side effects that are difficult to deal with. Additional information on ibrutinib can be found here lymphoma-action.org.uk/about-lymphoma-treatment-lymphoma-targeted-treatments-and-antibody-therapy/targeted-treatments-and#ibrutinib - Kind regards

They dont have any cure for it unfortunately but they do give meds and yearly check up is well needed. I know this cause my girl has and had it and might can have it again.
