Experiences with

Colonic polyps

Polyps The risk of developing colonic polyps is high in people with the smoking habit. Colonic polyps develop on the mucosal lining of the colon or rectum. While a few polyps are benign or noncancerous, others may tend to become malignant.

I received the blood test results yesterday and feel like I can't breathe. They were out last DE, we have nothing left. We said this would be our last try, but now I can't help wondering. So much money and time has been invested. Many many treatments and procedures: Laparoscopies, hysteroscopies, embolization

What supplements did everyone take for their FET and was it successful? I’m taking the Zita West bundle but don’t know if it’s overkill (and expensive!), especially when I can’t have my transfer yet until I’ve had a polypectomy. Thank you.

Hi everyone 😁😁 First time posting for me on here. Sorry if it's a bit of a long one. I'm still in the investigation stages of my symptoms. I was told I probably had Endometriosis back in December and had a Laparoscopy today where no Endo was found but biopsies of my uterus lining was taken and what

Hi, first time posting, needed a little guidance from the community... Background - I’m 39 (40 in September) low AMH and due to have endometrial polyp removed (either privately in May or NHS In July). We’ve been ttc naturally for 1 year but no luck. I am currently undertaking some training with a

I was wondering if others had experienced a slow increase in lymphocyte count in the years following V&O therapy? I’m worried the CLL is slowly relapsing, but my haematologist says I shouldn’t worry and that it may be due to slow recovery of the lymphocytes after treatment. I don’t have any new symptoms

I’ve had CLL for nine years. I was treated (O&V) a couple of years ago, and my numbers are great! Unfortunately, I developed a secondary cancer this past March. I had emergency surgery for a mass removal in my small intestine. I’m wondering if anyone else has Neuroendocrine Tumors (NET)? I’ve been told

Does any one have an AFLAC Cancer Insurance policy? It is supposed to leukemia but treatments have evolved since I got the initial policy. It says it covers Leukemias but the info seems to focus more on tumors vs blood cancer.It includes a 1st Occurance Benefit. I'm not sure as a person with CLL at Stage

This just made my day. We are on the cusp of serious changes in how cancer is treated and managed. Lots of trials will be coming once funding is made available. This is about solid tumors, not CLL, but given the threat of secondary cancers (which I admit without torture that they do worry me), I thought

Rocbrutinib is a new drug offering hope to patients with what are known as gatekeeper mutations that confer resistance to Pirtobrutinib. This BTKi is unique in being both a covalent and non covalent inhibitor of BTK. Patients with gatekeeper mutations have poor outcomes and short survival and demonstrate

I was just diagnosed with Stage 0 CLL. I'm in the "Watch & Worry" stage - my dad died of complications from CLL in 1999; if I didnt know what he went through, I probably wouldnt be so stressed over this. I know treatments have really advanced since then. The Hematologist who ordered my Flow test is

Hi All, my journey continues and things are going well besides the infections and so on. Finished Obinituzumab some months ago and now i have four more months of Venetoclax ahead. The problem is that due to antibiotics (almost one or two every month) and maybe Venetoclax i started suffering from hepatotoxicity

hello. I'm new to all this. I had CLL with anemia, neutropenia and felt like death but no night sweats at age 42. then it went into remission, asymptomatic, normal blood counts. has anyone had this happen and then have it come back? Were there any lingering symptoms in between? How does it exhibit

Pirtobrutinib is the first FDA approved non-covalent BTK inhibitor (BTKi) for the treatment of CLL. The previously approved BTKi drugs (acalabrutinib, ibrutinib and zanubrutinib) bond covalently. Eventually, these drugs can stop inhibiting CLL, when DNA changes in the BTK enzyme prevent the BTKi from
