1st Bone Marrow Biopsy
Hi all. I just had my first bone marrow biopsy yesterday. I have been dealing with MBL / CLL over the last decade and my count is around 50. I do not really have any symptoms except swollen lymph nodes in the neck and groin. I am 52 years old, quite fit (exercise hard 5 times a week) and work full time

In the USA, can you get or chose

antibiotics while on chemo?
Hello, ladies. I am on cisplatin and Gemcitabine (Gemzar) and have developed an infection near an ancient root canal that I believe has finally failed. Has anyone safely taken a basic antibiotic such as amoxicillin while on this chemo combo? I have emailed my oncologist, but it’s just 6:00 am here,

Chemo for recurrence easier?
I'll be having carbo/taxol chemo for my first recurrence, which is the same chemo I had initially. I was wondering if those of you who have been through it found the second go-round easier, harder, or different from the first.Thanks for sharing your experience. It really helps.

Imbruvica
I underwent
chemotherapy
(FCR) in 2010-2011. The CLL went into remission. Now my white blood cells are increasing and my platelets are decreasing. I am in very good shape and my quality of life is excellent. My oncologist is considering treating me with Imbruvica.

Jevtana (Cabazitaxel) before Xofigo (Radium 223)
Hi I was speaking to an Oncology nurse last week who suggested that after Docetaxel, Oncolgists were inclined to prescribe Jevtana before Xofigo. This apparently is because it is less effective the other way round. I have to say my instinct was to try radiotherapy before going back to chemo. The Docetaxel

Halfway through chemo, new scans, seeking advice
Have now completed 4 of 6 Docetaxel/Carboplatin treatments and went to Mayo in Rochester for PSMA Pet scan (Ga-68, see results below). My PSA remains undetectable (<0.05), which, given my historically low PSA, is probably not the Most reliable indicator but I assume means the Lupron and Nubeqa might

QoL and personal decision-making
I came across this article, which was published in a general interest magazine, written by a noted researcher in Medical Ethics who is also a long time practicing oncologist. The title given to the article was the publication's and the author made pains in an interview to say it is somewhat misleading

Experiences of Clatterbridge cancer center, Wirral
I am particularly interested in the facilities and concomitant support available at Clatterbridge from the perspective of whether they have an acute medical unit to help deal with any issues that come up,
chemotherapy
and how surgical referrals are dealt with.
