Marijuana Kills Cancer Cells?
I've read some scientific and a lot of anecdotal info claiming marijuana kills tumor cells. Has anyone experimented with this or gained any medical benefit from marijuana use? https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/cam/hp/cannabis-pdq

Breast mastectomy and reconstruction
Hi. I’m new here though been diagnosed since 2012. I had a recent mastectomy and breast reconstruction using tummy tissue. Unfortunately my reconstruction failed and had to be removed a few days later due to issues with blood supply. Anyone else with lupus have a similar experience?

Trying to help an acquaintance who lives close to the Black Sea,in Georgia, who has just been told that her CLL has turned into B-PLL.
Someone has reached out to me and is looking for a way to have her B-PLL treated. She lives in the Baltics and where she is located they apparently do not have the best medical resources. I have given her the names of certain doctors here in the USA. I mentioned to her that I thought

Persistent node
so, I'm pretty sure everything's going to be fine, but my CT scan last week showed one axillary node that's not shrinking, so having a precautionary biopsy later this week. Dr. just wants to know my CLL isn't transforming to Large Cell Lymphoma. I'm being treated with Venetoclax for my fourth go-round

Hello, I am on a trial of Imbruvica and Venetoclax and doing well so far. I am 17P deleted so I am looking at future options- if needed. Fortunately there are a lot of new emerging treatments. I am not an expert - though. Feel free to add on copy , edit and repost! Below are some of the new CLL

Essentially Thrombocythemia (Exon 10)
I was wondering if anyone else has an Exon 10 mutation as it seems very rare. It’s similar in characteristics as JAK2, I was diagnosed with Exon 10 (ET) June 2016

Friend or not a friend??
Hi Folks, I was out with a friend this week, she is a bit or rather a complete health freak!!! Which I except, but she started spouting on about my treatment with Hydroxy, and started to tell me that I should try and eliminate it from my life as it very toxic, and can cause cancers to spread, well I

Just diagnosed
I don't what to think. The doctor said my FISH test is negative; no chromosomal damage. He is proposing FCR early treatment to the hospital tumor board based on my age of 55. I may lose my job and insurance soon. So if FCR is an option, I hope I can get it asap.

Epo. London mpn day
I'll be going to the london mpn day on18 th. I'm feeling tired and fed up. I've had 4 weekly epo injections and not much response. The energy I had at first was due to the blood transfusion I had at the same time, I think, because that's now worn off. I feel as tho I can't handle life at all. Which

This is worth a look
Hi all, I am still fairly new to ET and pretty illiterate when it comes to the workings of the human body, so I have been trying to educate myself to better understand what is happening. In my searches I happened across a really helpful YouTube video of an on-line lecture by Khan University Medical (

Phlebotomy or Hydroxyurea

Road to a BMT... oops just got there
Hello Health Unlocked community, Since this forum and community offered me a great amount of support and kindness during our last crisis I thought I would come back to it. Last time you heard from me/us was when my husband Mark began failing on Ibrutinib in Feb. 2017 and he was going to start Venetoclax

Chemo Might Be Next
I had check up with oncologist this week. Last January she told me that chemo would be sooner than later. I was able to avoid it all year. I have had CLL for 10 years. My WBC reached 193k. Last January I was at 150. Seems to be accelerating over the past 2 years. I have some swollen nodes. No other
