In extremely vulnerable group but don't understand why
On Monday I got a text, followed by a letter, informing me that I have been identified as someone at risk of severe illness and thereby extremely vulnerable if I were to catch coronavirus. Instructions are not to leave home, even for food and meds, and stay away from others indoors. There is a list of

Confused /scared about Covid 19
Hi there I’m guessing that a lot of people are in the same boat about Covid19. My husband recently underwent a stem cell transplant for ALL and is now taking immunosuppressant medication. I currently work part time in the retail sector and I’m really confused and anxious about what to do for the best

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.

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

Sickle Cell Trait and menstrual cycle
For years I suffered from fainting and blackouts right before or during my periods. I recently met another woman who had a similar experience and she mentioned that it was because she has the sickle cell trait. I am wondering if this has happened to anyone else?

Any Experience with Tocilizumab and GCA?
I am reading that it may reduce the likelihood of relapse and can reduce the long term dosage of Prednisone. Has anyone had experience with it, good or bad?

Functional doctor checking everything!
I posted here before about my suspected low B12 and my experience with my unsympathetic GP. I visited my consultant who was also not interested in listening to me. In fact he was taking blood while I was telling him I was sure I was low in B12 again and he didn't bother to even check it even though I

After 4th Xofigo injection, bone marrow 'crashed'? - Cancer or side effect from Xofigo?? Next step??
My husband seemed to be responding to the monthly Xofigo injections until the 4th one on Dec 5th, which caused his blood numbers to crash. He ended up in the ER 2 weeks later, on Dec 20th, with hemoglobin around 6, so they gave him 3 red blood cell transfusions which brought him up to 8.4. (we were

Update and Best Wishes
Have just got out of hospital after three days of methylprednisolone infusions. The idea was to bring me into hospital and give me a boost so I could go on a holiday. Just as well I went in because it coincided with a fairly bad attack, so hopefully I’ll be OK now for a month or so. Mid February
