5 days post ablation
Been doing really well until today and started getting bad headache. Blood pressure was 164/108 so took my nighttime dose of lisinopril and Coreg early and an hour later lower but still high at 150/95. Is this normal?

Devastated is this the end?
My husband has had a cirrhotic liver and alcoholic liver disease for a number of years coupled with all the complications this brings. He has now been abstinent for 4 and a half years, as I write he is spending his 17th night in hospital, this is his 3rd stay this year. In January this year he was told

CLL, Bone Marrow Transplant and Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
Can’t really answer this as I haven’t had one for my CLL. Am 76 years old. Issue of bone marrow transplant has been raised several times in my CLL “career” ( 16 years ). My specialists have told me that I am too old for such a procedure. In fact one of them said it would probably kill me. And that response

Major breakthrough in the treatment of leukemia
[i]Bone marrow aspirate showing Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML). Several blasts have Auer rods. Wikipedia [/i] [i] [/i] This article out of the University of Montreal seems to hold some promise for the treatment of AML. Rather than just posting a link I thought it might be easier for all to read this extract

Update on My Father's Cirrhosis - Seems Stable
Hello, As we found out about my father's Cirrhosis in February after we noticed his swollen stomach. His Ascites of 2.5ltr was drained in on Feb 23, 2019. It was followed by Endoscopy where grade 3 varices were diagnosed. He never had bleeding, but doctors recommended banding, so he had it done in

Ventolin Inhaler -Alternative
Good evening everyone, I have taken my Ventolin Inhaler for many years of me having COPD and Bronchiectasis, I am now stage 4 COPD and awaiting a lung transplant. Although I have to regularly take lots of medication daily as well as nebulisers I have noticed that my Ventolin Inhaler doesn’t seem to work

Stem Cells!
My 22 year old son has Primary MF and one of his sisters is a 10/10 stem cell match for him - a wonderful thing for us all to hear after we discovered that a stem cell transplant is currently his only avenue for cure. My daughter is keen to raise awareness of the need for more people to register as

Decompensated to compensated?
Hi all, I'm new to here but very concerned about my dad. He has been diagnosed with cirrhosis a few months ago but his tummy is full of fluid (ascites) which is his main issue. He also has varices but thankfully has never had a bleed. As his liver is now decompensated my question is this. Is it possible
