Stick or Twist...Not Really.
Hi, PaulaS suggested that I write and let people who know me on here know how I'm doing. She suggested it quite a long time ago, but I didn't know how I was doing until today. I have just had the consultation post chemotherapy and have been told that I have achieved full remission, which is good news

Are there possibilities other than stem cell transplant in Canada for CLL with 11Q deletion?
My son lives in Canada. He has CLL stage 4 with 11Q deletion. He was taken off Ibrutinib because his Neutrophils were getting low. Then he had a cold and swollen lymph nodes on his neck, and an enlarged spleen. He is now back on Ibrutinib on a reduced dosage of 2 pills/day. His doctor says that according

Shoulder Surgery
Well my lucky number finally came up after 16 months and I am going in for shoulder surgery on Saturday to fix a
bone
spur
and rotator cuff tear. I guess until I manage to be able to type one handed I may not be doing much responding to posts.
