She experienced nose bleeding that led to administration of a
blood
transfusion
. She also received intravenous steroids followed by intravenous immunoglobulin, an approach meant to block self-reactive antibodies in the blood. However, her symptoms persisted.

Anaemia
My oncologist told me she’d probably think about a
blood
transfusion
if my haemoglobin count, got any lower. But of course she’s a researcher not a doctor and I don’t know if I even thought to ask her what I should be doing to treat the anaemia. I’ve been eating, dried apricots. Lots of fruit.

Anaemia
Well, seems that I am anaemic after all: blood tests at Marsden showef Hb of 114: low enough for me to feel lousy but not low enough for transfusion. Maybe one unit in s couple of weeks time if on retesting. Its dropprd below 110. Will then try starting EPO injections when I get back from holiday

Is there hope? I’m dreading asking the question of “how long”…
My father was diagnosed in September ‘23 with a PSA in the 900s. It had already metastasized throughout his body in several parts of his bones (ribs, spine, hips, femur and a spot at the base of his skull) but no organs had been affected other than his prostate. We were hopeful when it began to climb

Latest update on my FEDORA trials experience and ongoing treatment.
I am being treated at University Hospital Southampton, I’ve now been on the FEDORA trial since beginning of November 2022 and am (or was) starting cycle 10 (4-week cycles). I came back from holiday yesterday and had blood tests today which didn’t go as well as hoped for as my platelet count is below

Recovery after blood transfusion
After a
blood
transfusion
for low platelets and HB did you feel better straight away or did it take a few days? I am still breathless and light headed two days later? I have had repeat blood tests to show levels are higher but not back to normal yet.

missed diagnosis
It’s most likely that it was a result of a
blood
transfusion
in 1986. Following treatment I am now clear of the virus but sadly have developed cirrhosis.

Bone Marrow
Can you tell me what you’ve experienced with bone marrow involvement? How do they know it’s reached bone marrow? What tests? Does it change the medication options? Transfusions not an option for me. What else can help? My B12 is very low. RBC is always just below normal but hemoglobin is always just

Can stress or worries make a big difference in FBC numbers?
My wife's FBC has changed significantly over the past few weeks, while her medication has been the same for a year. During the past year she has been on anagrelide 3 a day, hydroxy 3 a week keeping her platelets at or around 250 white cells at or around 40 though over the past 8 months her Hgb keeps

Anyone else being seen at Royal Marsden Sutton?
Hi. Its a while since I’ve posted. I’m now being treated at the Royal Marsden in Sutton - are any other people being treated there? I have myelofibrosis. Would be nice to be in touch with others in the area. My husband developed a glioblastoma very suddenly 2 yrs ago and died within 3 months.

Stage 4 ~ Now Losing Blood Somewhere
Hi, my husband was diagnosed stage 4 with lymph node and bladder neck margins involvement 3/2018. He has done chemo, radiation, and hormone therapy over the past 5 years. His PSA increased quickly starting in October 2022 and by December it was 27. Hormone therapy isn’t working as before, it appears

New treatment after being dropped from Pluvicto.
I was dropped from LU177 treatment in late January and started my first round of Docetaxel/Carboplatin on 01/30. Lab results on 02/17 showed my platelet count to be very low so was denied the second round of chemo. We did see a significant drop in PSA from 758 to 611 on that lab. My next lab 03/17 showed

Endometriosis?
Hi everyone My journey is quite a lengthy one so I’ll attempt to shorten it by containing the most important info… when I was a teenager I had awfully painful, extremely heavy periods at times they would bring me to tears, this improved after having children but was still far from “normal” whatever

Advice re recovery - please!
He is very breathless still but had a
blood
& short iron
transfusion
a few days ago because his
blood
count was very low (he looked terribly pale). He isn't sleeping & keeps having bad dreams. Is any of this familiar with you?? Thanks so much. ❤️

Any recent experiences of AIHA developing in progressive CLL - particularly in those treated with or awaiting Venetoclax treatment?
Cross matched and
Blood
transfusion
booked. Further tests showed (unsurprisingly I guess) that I was haemolyzing.
Blood
transfusion
cancelled. Venetoclax ramp up put on hold. High dose corticosteroid, folic acid anticoagulants prescribed. Back next week to assess blood changes.
