Donating bone marrow to cure sickle cell anaemia
A bone marrow transplant is the only complete cure for treating sickle cell anaemia. This is a kind of treatment in which the patient’s bone marrow is changed to new healthy bone marrow. This is done either by collecting the patient’s own bone marrow or that of a donor. In the case of sickle cell disease

Dad in ICU fighting pneumonia and is slow to wake up from induced coma
Hi everyone. I’m wondering if anyone has any encouragement for our situation. My dad is 78 but has always been extremely healthy - a marathon runner until his back stopped him from running and now he’s been an avid swimmer for years and has had no real medical issues. He had a stem cell transplant

Cutaneous Vasculitis
Hi all Back in early 2015 I had the most awful rash and raised itchy lumps over the lower part of my legs. I went to my GP who suggested treating the whole family for Scabies. After many tests and appointments later and biopsies they confirmed Cutaneous Vasculitis. Back in 2018 from July to December

Stem cell transplant appointment for post PV MF
My husband met with the transplant team yesterday. They went through pros and cons of a transplant. The only option offered to him for his post PVMF was ruxlitnib. We wanted to know about Pegasus and interferon but these two weren't an option. So for now he's going to take ruxlitnib for as long as he

Bone Marrow Transplant Failed
In early 2017, I took a big bet. I suspended normal cancer treatments, in order to preserve my eligibility for a very novel phase 1 clinical trial. Initially, I didn't qualify, but they agreed to modify the trial to make me eligible. That process took a while, so we didn't get started until late 2017
