Side effects of Zytiga?
His hemoglobin is also low (68) ang got a
blood
transfusion
last week. His doctor recommends chemo as next step. Anyone experience the same? Will a chemo helps him? He is a bit hesitant now to try chemo and losing faith. Any advise or recommendation is greatly appreciated.

WHEN YOUR CLINICAL TRIAL FAILS, WHAT DO YOU DO NEXT ?
Thompson called Penn to set an appointment for a
blood
transfusion
. July 5th I had my first ever
blood
transfusion
. It helped a bit but was not the solution. Dr. Svoboda was now in charge of my care , a plan to use Gazyva and a few more transfusions got me through the end of July and August.

Beware of Lansoprazole
Last year, during a medical check, it was found that my
blood
count was so low it was almost at needing a
transfusion
level. I was put on Ferrous Fumarate which brought my level up but my ferritin level is still low.

Gabapentin and liver resection
The help I have been given from this forum has been invaluable, I don't know where I would be without it. I have weaned myself off of Pramipexole and am now using Gabapentin, I don't think I have suffered anything like some of the other members. My question is, I need to up the dose, I am taking 1 x

New Drug may be relevant to MF, ET
A new drug for pulmonary hypertension, (PAH) Sotatercept, has just been approved. PAH is not a typical MPN worry, but it has side effects that may be relevant to MPN. It can increase Hb and decrease PLT. These are listed as adverse effects in the label. Some researchers made the MPN connection.

Ongoing anemia
Why wait for four months to give her red
blood
cells when she last had RBC
transfusion
4 months ago it brought her Hgb up to 115, then three months ago had iron infusion. Which didn't really increase her Hgb.
