MDS World Awareness Day today 25th October 2015
Thought you may be interested. MDS is a rare bone marrow disease which is only curable by a cell stem or bone marrow transplant. I can't find any information or indeed references on this web site but anyone affected, see more here www.mdspatientsupport.org.uk. Best regards Glyn

Imaging provides clearer picture of Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs) and the B Cell surface
The billions of blood cells we produce every day come from just a few active Hematopoietic Stem Cells in our bone marrow. Understanding more about how these hard working cells function is critical, not only to improving the treatment of blood conditions and blood cancers, such as CLL, but many medical

V-Kit Hardy-Zuckerman 4 Feline Sarcoma Viral Oncogene Homolog
My Son had his Kit Gene test back which may answer the family health and leukaemia coincidence. It shows that he has the kit gene which make a bone marrow transplant more likely now so they are now looking to see if his brother is a match ( 25% chance ) What we do not know is who of us has the gene

Why we need to register and report the results of all clinical trials
schwit1 writes in Slashdot: [i]"The requirement that medical researchers register in detail the methods they intend to use in their clinical trials, both to record their data as well as document their outcomes, caused a significant drop in trials producing positive results.

The Anti-Inflammatory Diet
Check out this new article from Alexandra Rothwell, a registered dietitian. Inflammation is a popular “buzz word” in the world of nutrition and cancer. Foods and nutrients are touted for their “anti-inflammatory” properties, and we happily associate this with good health - as we should. However,

Hello Peops I have an update on my MF. . . . I'm sorry to say that after a year or so my Ruxo Golden Ticket Has left me on a very sticky wicket, My oversize spleen remains the same It simply hasn't played the game, The fibrosis is present within my bones And to be honest I fear these 'undertones'.

In the beginning...
...There was smoking, and obesity and .... well you know the rest. A trip down AML lane led to a bone marrow transplant and all seemed well until COPD came along. So, if the one doesn't get you the other one will - only slower! I am late in years now. Started out as a journalist (sorry people) and then

Transplant coming soon!
I have been fighting cll/stage 4 for seven years with little success. Have had all standard chemo and have been in two clinical trials (ibrutnib and ABT199). The ibrutnib worked great for about a year and a half. When it failed it was fast! Then I tried ABT199 which helped save my life, but was short

Reynauds AND a nerve tumour ....
Well, this is great, apart from having Reynauds, which I was born with, plus squamous cell carcinomas on my legs, I now have a quite rare tumour, called a schwannoma. I had it cut out, ( painful, because it grows within the nerve sheath ).... Because of compromised circulation , massive sepsis occurred

Going off Ibrutinib: should we be worried?
Hi everyone. My husband was due to go in for a stem cell transplant this week but it has been delayed as he wasn't well on the day. Due to a theatre being unavailable for the donor (for taking cells from bone marrow), it's been put back two weeks. This means my husband will now be off Ibrutinib for

Mr
Multi myeloma patient diagnosed in 2013, had stem cell transplant April 2014 but told relapsed November 2014. Started Revlamid / dexamethazone January 2015, so far despite some side effects going in the right direction but so was transplant so fingers still crossed.
