“I think we’ll cure leukemia in my lifetime”

On the edge with too many decisions
I did the first one,
bone
graft
and joint fusion in my right foot...basically gluing my heal back together and screwing it to a bone below the ankle. I cant walk on it for 3 months. I think we don’t have to do the second one, bone grafting the two forearm bones.

Researchers find 10-minute add-on heart surgery cuts stroke risk by one-third
As long as surgeons have a patient under anesthesia for one heart procedure, they may as well make it two—and according to a new study, the benefits in preventing future strokes could last a lifetime.

A day of surprises
Hi all Yesterday I had the first face to face consultation since the pandemic. I must say I was wary of the reasons for this but went along anyway. The consultant reported that my blood tests results were unchanged and stable and the pegasys had reduced my spleen size by 0.7cm. He said that I am quite

A fascinating podcast on the history and current state of stem cell regeneration.
Did you know humans make around 2 1/2 million red blood cells a second? Did you know the only the stem cell transplant that can currently be done is a bone marrow one? Did you know, at a guess, there have been something like 2 million bone marrow transplants to date. I came across this episode in the

Heart attack (Stemi) and unable to stent because of ectatic Coronary artery
Last August I had a STEMI. A heart attack which resulted in the complete blockage of the Right coronary artery. When they looked via the angiogram/angioplasty they found that the artery was ectatic. That means apparently that it is not uniform in cross section , and not smooth in end to end shape. They

Auto Stem Cell transplant?
Hi, Curious to know if anyone out there has had R-chop, then relapsed and the next line of treatment recommended was SCT? I've been battling Marginal Zone lymphoma (2016), transformed to DLBCL (2018) and now it's back again. The auto process sounds very scary (dangerous), and with a 30-50% success rate

Post CABG recovery
Hello, I hope everyone is well. I have a couple of questions for anyone who has trod the post-cardiac surgery path before me. I had a CABG on the 5th March and I am very happy with my recovery so far; I am walking for exercise and increasing my distance - although I wish it would warm up a bit. I'm

Low Blood Pressure
Anyone any thoughts on this issue. Had Triple Cabg and valve Repair. Collapsed with BP of 84/48. In hospital three days. Now home but BP still quite low. Went dizzy a couple of days ago - BP 92/54. On the discharge letter they referred to “heart failure”. Anyone any experience of this. Thanks in advance

Legs with little feeling, anyone?
Just wondering if anyone has a similar issue with their legs. I am 4 and a bit months past surgery of CABG x4 and I still don’t have much feeling around the incisions in my lower legs. The scars are healing fine, but the pressure from swelling in the ankles makes it feel like I am wearing ski boots,

Thoracic window
Hello there. Not been on here for a while. Following a nine year history of lung cancer and pneumonectomy I unfortunately had to have clagetts procedure last year which has now left me with a thoracic window. Having been reassured at the time that I would have a closure within months with a skin graft
