The power of love
It's either that or a
blood
transfusion
. I have not tolerated the chemo very well this time around. In fact, I'm now using a walker to give me stability as I easily get dizzy from weakness. The walker and the shower chair were something I struggled to accept.

My son was diagnosed with Biliria Artresia at first month after birth. He underwent Kasai procedure at 2nd month. After that his stools are normal and bilirubin is under control. But recently he passed black stools and sometimes blood in the stool. His bilirubin is 0.4 and SGPT is 108 and SGOT is 84.

They didn't give me a

because of my chronic
blood
problems, and didn't want to do anything without my consultant, who was on leave !

Completed 5 doses Lu177; complications of marrow damage and renal toxicity
Recently completed 5th course LU177; PSA initially 16, now at 0.08. However, Hgb dropped from 9.7 to 7.3 after last infusion, requiring 2 units RBS transfusion. Additionally, creatinine increased from 1.2 to 2.0, indicating significant renal toxicity. Will forego last LU177 infusion. For those

Post SCT haematomachrosis
My now 6 monthly bloods done last year revealed high ferritin. I subsequently had 6 venesections, 1 a month. My follow up, delayed by COVID, revealed a still high ferritin at 2000, down from around 3000. The consultant was a bit surprised it was still that high. I was a bit disappointed and concerned

Calling all BAT-men ...
Between the cancer and the Lu177, my bone marrow is not producing sufficient red
blood
cells or platelets. I expect to need another
transfusion
in a week or two. Is there anything in the literature, or anecdotal, about successes or failures of BAT when bone marrow is involved?

Chronic migraine and chronic sore throat
Hi everyone, I was wondering if anybody is struggling (and this for years) with chronic migraine and chronic sore throat/chronic tonsillitis. I have come to think that part of my migraines are caused by an underlying chronic infection. As usual, blood tests are fine. Antibiotics work for the throat

Hashimotos
Hi. I've had hypothyroidism for 27 year's and was born with hypercalcemia familiar. In February I noticed my right gland area was enlarged and hoarse voice. I went for a blood test on April 1st to be told that I was slightly overactive and they would adjust medication at next routine blood appointment

Can an increase in thyroxine cause an upset tummy?
I was on 100mc of thyroxine for years. My GP decided to decrease my dose to 75 without any tests or discussion. When I left a message for her to tell her I felt less well on the lower dose she said to alternate 75 and 100 for three months, then get a blood test. Results showed my dose had to go back

Is anyone here familiar with metabolomic analysis?
I've heard about metabolomics only recently while listening to a Dr Berg podcast. In short, if I understood correctly, it differs from regular blood tests by looking for the concentration of things (like amino acids, minerals, polyphenol, etc...) within your cells rather than the concentration in your

Just having a bad day
April hasn't been a good month for me and synotoms. Been on only 50mcg levo since end of September. Only JUST this week got an increase to 75 thanks to the private bloods I did due to recommendations on this site. First I caught a sinus cold at the start of Easter break, which triggered a flare up

Treatment changes - Rituximab?
Finally saw my consultant again last week. Think he was quite surprised at how swollen my hands have become and he said I'd done well to keep going. So am feeling a little more positive, though I'm battling through a lot of pain. The steroid jabs I had in my finger and thumb base seem to have given

WBC and Lymphocytes are increasing
Hello everyone, I am posting after a year. My wife was diagnosed with CLL in 2020. She is still in W&W form. Her WBC and Lymphocyte are climbing linearly. I'd like to hear from hematologists, CLL specialists, and CLL fellows and so on. She has TP53 muted, 13q deletions, and 12 trisomy. Her last blood
