Myelofibrosis - GVHD - graft, versus, host, disease
Hi, thanks for accepting me onto the site. My name is Gary, I am 64 years old and was diagnosed with Myelofibrosis in July, 2024. It all started when I began to feel lethargic and very tired, I had no inspiration to do anything. I was a taxi driver and was only managing to work one or two days a week

STEM CELL TRANSPLANT FINALLY SCHEDULED (WE HOPE)
Hi everyone. As you may know, my husband was diagnosed with CLL back in 2013, treated with six cycles of FCR, and achieved a "full response with incomplete recovery of the bone marrow." He had severe complications after treatment, but the CLL never recurred. In November 2023 he began to experience

Borderline TSH during cancer treatment
Hi folks! Haven't been on here for some time but in the interim I have been treated for Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia. Had chemo in September last year which was successful (minus a few hiccups like fungal pneumonia that put me in ICU!) and currently on home oral chemo, antifungals and antibiotics daily

continuing the journey
I just had my 3rd round of Chemotherapy ( O CHOP). Doing pretty well, will see 2nd week is usually the hardest. My oncologist was very pleased with how I have responded (ei. Platelets 357 from 1st chemo 10).I also had a port put in my chest last week for easier access for infusion iOS and blood work.

Sorry it has been a while with an update on Ruxolitinib
The last time I wrote to you all was about 2/3 years ago when I started Ruxolitinib. The first 6 to 8 months I was a different person, I felt great. I started to swim, (200 lengths in 1.5 hours) then I started to get water infections, one after the other, chest infections, ear infections and shingles

Pre op done
So im in for cabg x 4 on monday, just been to pre op appointment and am a little shocked as the nurse told me ill just be on paracetamol when i come around ? I thought morphine etc would be administered before I wake up. Kind of hoping the anasthesia is still doing its job upon waking ?

New member - Post ET MF (Australia)
I'm 42, married with six children, and I live in Australia. In 2013, I was diagnosed with CAL-R positive ET. I started taking aspirin and managed pretty well. After a spontaneous bleed in my right quadricep, it was discovered that I also had a genetic bleeding disorder, dysfibrinogenemia. After that

Stem cell transplant (SCT) 15 months on
I'm now 15 months after my SCT and in my my recent review my figures are improving:WBC 4.0 HB 139 Neut 2.3, lymph1.12 and platelets 106 ( highest for a couple of years). I also had my CD4 lymphocytes measured and can now come off Acyclovir and pentamidine. Hooray! I hated those nebulisers. This leaves

stem cell transplant survival with MF
This link gives some figures for overall survival with or without a transplant. The headline really is the initial mortality close to the transplant is only worth risking if your MF is quite bad. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7218417/

Anyone turn down a stem cell transplant?
I have post ET MF. Currently I'm on Rux and getting monthly cycles of 5 aza. I don't need transfusions. Day to day I feel pretty good and can do most of what I want. The SCT was recommended because of the risk of progression to AML. I'm finding the decision making to get the SCT very difficult. My

On another subject …
Inspired bya post on another site I’d like to ask if anyone has high risk mutations and has NOT had a stem cell transplant and has NOT progressed to leukaemia? On the other site there were a few who had had MF for quite few years but with treatment were doing ok, and weren’t having transplants, for

Health Update
So I had the mammogram and ultrasound. Imaging shows a 2cm lump stuck to the breast. The consultant says it is cancer and will be confirmed by the biopsy. Lucky it's caught early and doesn't look like it's spread to the lymph nodes. The plan is breast conservation therapy. A lumpectomy and radiotherapy

Platelets dropped after obinituzumab and won't rise even after transfusion 🚨
Dear all, First of all, thank you very much for all the help and care I have always found on HealthUnlocked. I had my first infusion of obinituzumab and in my case, mainly due to my nephrotic syndrome kidney problem, I had a few problems. High fevers, which are common Attacks of hiccups that last
