First Appointment re Stem Cell Transplant
This week I have my first appointment with a stem cell transplant specialist. I haven't made up my mind yet and I'm seeing this as a fact finding appointment. I've made a list of questions to ask: What exactly does it involve, step by step? What can go wrong? And if something goes wrong, what is the

Neck Rigidity relief??
Hi All, I’m hoping someone might me able to help. My dad was diagnosed with PSP in March this year, he has lots of other health issues (diabetes, kidney transplant, neuropathy, heart issues) He’s suffered for a long time and we think his other health issues have masked the PSP He’s suffering really

How are you living life with spouses both Vaccinated against Covid but one has a kidney transplant and one is healthy?
I cannot find direct information on this question where I am healthy and vaccinated against Covid19 and my spouse is vaccinated and has a kidney transplant but cannot make antibodies due to being on Cellcept antirejection med mainly. Do I live my life "normal" and he is living restricted like before

3rd dose vaccine
Just came across an interesting article stating the benefits of a 3rd vaccine shot given to organ transplant recipients . https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/L21-0282 In my limited understanding of the conclusions, it seemed to have resulted in a significant increase in antibody titers. Does anyone

Hi my dad is 67 and a diabetic he was diagnosed with liver disease in April of this year and is in the process of scan after scan. He has passed the heart and lung/ fitness tests.

A third dose of COVID-19 vaccine increased antibody levels in organ transplant recipients
The antibody response after 2 doses of an mRNA vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 is excellent in the general population, but the response is different in recipients of solid organ transplants. For example, we have found markedly attenuated antibody responses in transplant recipients after 2 doses of an mRNA

Nanoparticle therapy shows promise at preventing fatal newborn lung disease
The disease is so rare and complex that its acronym is hard to pronounce. But for infants unlucky enough to be born with this lung disease, the outcome is usually fatal. The disease is called alveolar capillary dysplasia with misalignment of the pulmonary veins (ACDMPV). Research indicates the disease

Three and a half years with Mantle cell lymphoma
I got diagnosed with Mantle Cell Lymphoma in March 2018 when I was 61.

Impending surgery concerns
Impending knee replacement and worried about impact anesthesia and post surgery pain killers could have on already level 3 liver disease. Has anyone undergone orthopedic surgery and how did it go? What I don’t want to happen is to get a new knee and then need liver transplant because of meds.
