COVID-19 Mortality, Hospitalization Risk Higher in Patients With Blood Cancers
We've discussed this often here. This is the latest from ASH 2021. Of interest: <<Patients with MPN and plasma cell dyscrasia had less severe COVID-19 illness overall compared to patients with CLL, leukemia, MDS, or lymphoma.>> https://www.pharmacytimes.com/view/covid-19-mortality-hospitalization-risk-higher-in-patients-with-blood-cancers

Is inositol, hexaphosphate form, bad for CLL?
Hi, all. IP6 (a form of inositol called inositol hexaphosphate readily available as a supplement) has been shown to be very anti-cancer, including at least one blood cancer, AML I think. However, as I read about how it works, it seems to indicate that it increases or activates Bruton Tyrosine Kinase

Summary Paper from Drs, Claire N. Harrison and Donal P. McLornan
Nice summary I just came across from some of the experts. I've included some outtakes I found notable. Lots more in there on R&D for MF. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/bjh.16573 From chart, HCT control matters. This was discovered ~2011 and is likely a big part of what we've discussed

Venetoclax and calquence combo for Cll
Anyone have experience with V and Calquence together? My husband has been on calquence 4 months but Haemotolgist states his bone marrow still 80 to 90% full of cancerous lymphocytes. Doc wants V and R but husband has had no issues with Calquence and would prefer to stay on it along with Venetoclax. Lymphocytes

Mutations in MPNs to “interfere-on »
IFNα therapy has been shown to deplete the MPN HSPC pool through activation and exit from a quiescent state and induction of differentiation. These biological effects seem to be influenced by driver mutation status, JAK2V617F homozygosity, and dosing approach. The clinical implication of the findings

Myelofibrosis and nausea
Hi everyone. I was diagnosed with Prefibrotic Myelofibrosis 3 years ago and current take asprin and 500mg Hu 8 times a week. I take the medication in the mornings with breakfast. The last few weeks I have been waking feeling nauseous- once I have eaten it eases but if I am late having lunch it returns

Hi all, I’m thankful for this community, I’m a long time reader, I don’t comment often but I need some advice tonight. My mom was diagnosed with CLL in Spring 2019. She is on ibrutinib and her lymphocytes have come down from 711 (!) in May 2019 to 98 a few months ago at her last appointment. She developed

Support for CLL Patients
This HU site, where we share information, experiences and friendship is a massive support for many and with Christmas approaching and many of us shielding to a greater or lesser extent, I thought it might be a good time to look at other support available for CLL patients and caregivers.

Melatonin and CLL
I ran across this article - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6057911/ a bit technical but further down it talks about apoptosis of leukemia cells. Does anyone have any input on taking Melatonin - I am taking 10mg at night to help with sleep. Just a curious question. I am on W&W two years
