Ideas for supporting dad in his last days

It's transformed in the past couple of weeks to an acute leukaemia and yesterday his consultant told us there's nothing more that can be done for him. He's at home. He spends 98% of his time sleeping.It's transformed in the past couple of weeks to an acute leukaemia and yesterday his consultant told us there's nothing more that can be done for him. He's at home.

Factors Identified for Risk of Second Cancer in CLL Following BTK Inhibition

There was hope that non-chemo CLL treatments would avoid the increased risk of subsequent secondary cancers, with concern about Myelodysplasia Syndromes and Acute Lymphocytic Leukaemia (MDS and ALL) of particular concern with FCR, due to possible DNA damage to bone marrow stem cells.There was hope that non-chemo CLL treatments would avoid the increased risk of subsequent secondary cancers, with concern about Myelodysplasia Syndromes and Acute Lymphocytic Leukaemia (MDS and ALL) of particular concern with FCR, due to possible DNA damage to bone marrow stem cells.

Unexplained Polycythemia

Hi there, I was just diagnosed with unexplained secondary polycythemia, I am negative for the JAK2 mutation but they haven't tested for Exon 12 yet. It seems they've done every test under the sun and cannot determine the cause of my polycythemia. It makes me wonder if I actually do have primary.

Sarcomatoid SCCs and ruxolitinib BMB

So I’ll have to wait for the trephine ( bony core) part of the biopsy to be analysed. I’m still hoping that I canHi As I posted here, I had a BMB a couple of weeks ago.
