In our government hospital leaflets, chronic lymphocytic leukaemia is a slow cancer of white blood cells. It is slow because the cells can live for a long time without causing trouble. BTK inhibitor drugs work by blocking a signal that tells these sick cells to grow.
But the leaflet does not say that "slow-growing" here means years of waiting between each specialist visit, watching for changes with only one blood test. For me, the medicine's name is a long English word the doctor said they often do not have in stock—so how it *works* matters less than if it *comes*.
