Seeking partners of Polycythemia sufferers
Hello my husband was recently diagnosed with polycythemia, we have been told the JAK2 test was negative though I gather this does not rule out polycythemia vera as it is not a definitive test. Hubby has been ill for YEARS with one thing and another, we have rather a lot of illness/disability in the family

Hiccups: Day Five
I developed hiccups after an infusion of bendamustine and ritiximab, using dexamethesone as an anti nausea drug. Turns out the the dex can cause hiccups. I am now at day five. My oncologist prescribed baclofen which am giving a try. Any sage advise from CLL hiccup survivors? Tried many of the home remedies

Grrrrr!!!
Yesterday a relative asked me to a coffee morning, I said unfortunately it coincided with my haematology appointment. She asked why I went to haematology. I never mention the "C" word, so I said I had a problem with my blood and bone marrow. She gave the usual remark of "Well you don't look ill". Then

New to the forun
Good afternoon to everyone out there I've recently been diagnosed with myelofibrosis Which I think is abbreviated to MF on the forum. I still have not got to grips with the various acronyms here The news came as a big shock to me at the time. I had been suffering from anemia and always being tired.

effects of rituxan
Hi, I had 4 rituxan infusions last June, and my counts have been great. But, I have now had two episodes were I black out. I am 72 yrs old and have never blacked out before in my life. I have been told I have vasovagal. I just wondered if anyone experience this after taking rituxan infusions? Thanks
