In extremely vulnerable group but don't understand why
On Monday I got a text, followed by a letter, informing me that I have been identified as someone at risk of severe illness and thereby extremely vulnerable if I were to catch coronavirus. Instructions are not to leave home, even for food and meds, and stay away from others indoors. There is a list of

Confused /scared about Covid 19
Hi there I’m guessing that a lot of people are in the same boat about Covid19. My husband recently underwent a stem cell transplant for ALL and is now taking immunosuppressant medication. I currently work part time in the retail sector and I’m really confused and anxious about what to do for the best

Pacing Wires
Hi Guys I wonder if any of you have had issues with retained pacing wires after CABG? Today I have had sharp pain at the site where my pacing wires were cut flush to me skin just before discharge from the hospital. The pain gets worse when I bend. I get this pain from time to time but not always. My

Numb Thigh After Heart Bypass
Hi All, Bit odd this but after undergoing a double CABG a month ago I have noticed that my right thigh is partially numb with a reduced ability to feel anything (very similar to the left side of my chest which I was expecting). I didn't have any blood vessels harvested from my legs so it's not due to

An Early Look at When CAR-T Therapy Fails Patients With CLL
Not exactly an optimistic report. Dr James Gerson, MD, - "Not a lot is known as to what happens in the patients for whom CAR-T therapy does not work,” “Anecdotally, we say that patients often progress rapidly and aren’t able to get further therapies, but it’s not something there’s a lot of data for.

Circumcision update
Hi. Just an update on my previous posts, for those who may be interested. I’m now 20 weeks post circumcision and I still can’t pee standing up, have had no sexual experiences whatever because of the pain, suffer extremely painful erections, which are three inches shorter than normal, and ‘am in daily

Fast heartbeat after triple CABG
I seem to be experiencing a really powerful fast heartbeat, I'm one week on from a triple bypass last Monday and was sent home Friday. I can't seem to slow it down, my booklet says if it lasts more than 2 hours then see my GP. Is this normal? I'm terrified it's not going to stop? Advice on how to slow

Coping with Trauma
Hello, I've joined this group in the hope that I may get some support from others that are living with disfigurement. In November I was attacked by my best friends dog a German shepherd. I guess I should be thankful I'm still here but I can't cope with my injuries. I now have facial scaring, a head injury

Options other than transplant?
Hi, I'm new to the forum and was wondering if anybody has chosen not to go for stem cell transplant after getting good bone marrow results after the consolidation phase of chemo? I'm also struggling to find other people who have been diagnosed with A.L.L. in their 50s like me as it seems to usually bea

Angina post CABG
So, following a CABG 3.5 years ago to resolve a blocked Circumflex, I still seemed to have angina afterwards. I was recently directed back to the Chest Clinic at the local hospital as I felt like my angina had become more frequent. I saw a Cardiologist who, having looked at my history and the resting

8-year-old Charlie raises £1000s for other people with a visible difference
When Charlie was 8 years old he was in a car crash which resulted in serious facial scarring. Since then, he's raised thousands of pounds for other people with a visible difference. This is his story. My name is Kimberley. I’m writing on behalf of my son Charlie, who’s 8 years old. On 30 September

Hello, I'm new here...
Hi there, I'm a 59 year old who has had a little chest replumbing (2x CABG and a titanium aortic valve). In November I had my annual cardiac review and my consultant was less than impressed by my 100 kg weight even though I walk about 6 km a day. We agreed that I should lose some weight and have a crack

Not such a good end to the day fiancé CABG yesterday
Fiancé was doing so well after his CABG yesterday. He ate his breakfast by himself, was assisted out of bed and sat in chair and was looking pretty good. Then this afternoon his heart went into atrial fibrillation with no warning and they’ve really struggled to correct it. Now it’s swinging between
