  • Hi Postu and a big welcome to Cancer Chat, 

    I am sorry to hear you have experienced side effects relating to smell and taste with pirtobrutinib. I could not find any information on our website on this new drug but we do have a page on ibrutinib and if you wanted to talk to our cancer nurses about this drug or find out more about potential side effects, you can get in touch with them on this free number 0808 800 4040 - Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. 

    I hope that you will hear from others on here who have taken this drug before and that they will tell you more about the side effects they experienced if they had any. It sounds like you have taken a lot of drugs since being diagnosed nearly 20 years ago and I hope that you are doing ok. What cancer were you diagnosed with if you don't mind me asking?

    Best wishes,
