Melatonin against platelets?
Dear all, Since I was given melatonin not for sleep, but to detox, I’ve been much better. I looked up effect of melatonin on platelets and I was shocked to find that melatonin caused platelet apoptosis (death). There are studies proving this. Here is info: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article

Options other than transplant?
Hi, I'm new to the forum and was wondering if anybody has chosen not to go for stem cell transplant after getting good bone marrow results after the consolidation phase of chemo? I'm also struggling to find other people who have been diagnosed with A.L.L. in their 50s like me as it seems to usually bea

An Early Look at When CAR-T Therapy Fails Patients With CLL
Not exactly an optimistic report. Dr James Gerson, MD, - "Not a lot is known as to what happens in the patients for whom CAR-T therapy does not work,” “Anecdotally, we say that patients often progress rapidly and aren’t able to get further therapies, but it’s not something there’s a lot of data for.

Tagresso Treatment
Anyone being treated with Tagresso? I have EGFR mutation and am on the drug as first line of defense. I was a non smoker and diagnosed at stage four. The cancer is in my right lung and was on my vernacular vertebrae. At the five week scan the cancer on my back was gone and the tumors had 50% shrinkage

COVID-19 Particularly Risky for CLL Patients
I must say, this article from Fred Hutch did nothing to brighten my day. But, it did make me wash my hands (yet again). According to Dr. Steve Pergam, clinical and infectious disease researcher at Fred Hutch, patients with hematologic malignancies are at greatest risk from COVID-19. Of course, CLL is

LDH levels and myelofibrosis
So I have MF and my doctor is very pleased that my hemoglobin is stable at 10,9 for the last 6 weeks and my platelets are holding between 450 and 600. However, on Friday I went for my regular visit for lab work and my LDH shot up to almost 900, which it is very high for me. I’ve tried to find information

Acalabrutinib three weeks appointment
I don’t know where my previous post went. Very likely, I did something wrong, so here it goes. The only side effect was bad headache for one week after which it became dull and I don’t even need to take Tylenol. Some fatigue and less energy and that is all. 👍🏻 My results are: WBC low at 3.9,

MPN News for treatment primary myelofibrosis, post-PVMF, Post ET-MF and Primary myelofibrosis
Hello all. It has been a while but I wanted to share this latest info. The combination of panobinostat (Farydak) and ruxolitinib (Jakafi) demonstrated efficacy and a tolerable safety profile as a treatment for patients with primary myelofibrosis (PMF) and post-polycythemia vera–related myelofibrosis

Analysing and Resequencing Gene Panels from the UK CLL4 trial (1999-2004) is helping patients today.
The CLL4 study compared conventional chlorambucil therapy versus fludarabine - alone or in combination with cyclophosphamide - note there was no Rituximab in those days. End points were: survival, response to therapy, duration of response, toxicity and quality of life. For patients who required further

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. I'm

Acalabrutinib plus Obinutuzumab in Treatment-Naïve and Relapsed/Refractory CLL
Overall response rates were 95% (treatment-naïve) and 92% (relapsed/refractory). Thirty-two percent of treatment-naïve and 8% of relapsed/refractory patients achieved complete remission. At 36 months, 94% (treatment-naïve) and 88% (relapsed/refractory) were progression free. Acalabrutinib plus obinutuzumab

Corona risk after successful treatment?
I am wondering about the state of the immune system after successful treatment for CLL. My husband's bone marrow was MRD-negative 6 months ago, all blood tests good apart from slightly low lymphocytes. He has been told to expect long term remission. Is he now as likely as the average person to contract

Does Hydroxycarbamide make it take longer for you to recover from an infection?
Hi everyone! I'm new on this site and I'm interested in learning about the experiences of people with Essential Thrombocythaemia (ET). I was diagnosed with Janus Kinase 2 (JaK2)-positive ET about a year ago but only started on oral chemotherapy with Hydroxycarbamide (Hydroxyurea) a few weeks ago, as

Richter Transformation Survival in CLL Appears Better Among Treatment-Naive
A new nationwide study showed that the 5-year cumulative incidence of Richter transformation (RT) among patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) was 2.8%. Of those patients whose disease transformed, about half (49%) were treatment-naive prior to transformation. The researchers identified 3
