Am Iwell?
I have my bi-monthly consultant review next week, which always starts with the question, well how are you? My usual reaction, is that perhaps you should tell me! I have just got the results (After 1 hour) of my latest blood test but I'm not sure which questions to ask. I started treatment with 6xRituximab

parietal cell antibody lab results
I’m having trouble interpreting my lab results. My Parietal Cell Antibody IgG value is 33.2 units and it said the standard range is 0.0-24.9 units. So it’s above the standard range but not by much. Apparently above 25 units is positive so that means I’m positive? I just want to confirm.

He’s home! Hurrah!
After 7 weeks in hospital my husband is home. Initially they were treating him for an infection and no antibiotics were touching it. It was only when they got the bone marrow culture showing Hodgkins transformation that he turned a corner. The ABVD chemo was a game changer. He had two chemos in hospital

You are what you breath - but what you breath varies...
[i]MY reason for writing this is one or two people liked my answers about the strange world of breathing. I am not a clinician, nor a scientist so beware taking me literally. However some things are self-evident dear Watson. [/i] We breath in a mixture of oxygen (20%) , nitrogen (79%) and a tiny amount

Miraculous Story of a person who underwent stem cell transplant in 1999

My MD Anderson doctor is leaving
I received a letter on Saturday that my oncologist at MD Anderson, Dr. Philip Thompson, is leaving effective January 3, 2023. Nooooooooo! Dr. Thompson is originally from Australia and has made the decision to return to Melbourne and join the Low-Grade Lymphoma and CLL group at the Peter MacCallum Cancer

Starting treatment
Hello everyone, I've been on W&W Since Jan 2020. Two weeks ago at my consultation my consultant said its time for treatment, that week I had a CT scan, blood tests and an echo heart test. My next step I assumed would be a meeting regarding my treatment, however she called today to say I need a pet

Do natural supplements work to reduce high cholesterol?
While strictly not a PMR issue I know there are a few whose cholesterol has risen markedly since being diagnosed. I am one of them. I have always had high-ish cholesterol but my last fasting blood test showed everything else perfectly normal but my cholesterol was up. I haven't seen the results

Levo doses and side effects
Hi everyone, I've had hypothyroidism (Hashimotos) for several years now and never felt 'well' that whole time, but at times have been able to cope and others (like now) absolutely can't. It seems to be constant and I wanted some advice/thoughts from what seems to be a very knowledgeable group who can

Allogenic Stem Cell Transplant
I [i]received a Stem cell transplant six months ago. My decision was based on the availability of a suitable donor and being able to get to remission through aggressive chemotherapy. Other treatments had no effect on my rapidly growing leukemia. As of today I’m still in remission, showing 97% chimerism

Bone marrow transplant
Hi, I am being offered a bone marrow transplant and wonder if anyone can offer me positive advice. Obviously the process is quite scary, but would like to think I'm doing the right thing. Thank you George

Internet censorship?
Internet censorship of medical information? As I mentioned before, I had anaphylactic shock during first infusion with obinutuzumab, which does not appear to be uncommon. There was a man across from me in my last infusion group who had same reaction. Quick witted infusion nurse jabbed me with EpiPen

Has Anyone Tried Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) - for expedited healing from radiation induced bone fractures & unhealing wounds?
I understand that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) helps tremendously with jaw bone death caused by Xgeva type drugs & radiation induced bone problems. It is FDA approved therapy for radiation induced injuries. There are no contraindications for people with active cancer. I’m considering HBOT (defined

All good things must come to an end
I just had my 3 month checkup and it looks like my Ibrutinib is starting to stop keeping my counts in check. They have not gone crazy but have been slowing rising this past year and actually doubled over a 6 month period. My Doctor thinks it's probably good to look at another treatment while I am still

Another 6 month checkup done
Hi all. I just thought I would share my good news. After the last 6 months of having a tooth removal, a root canal, 7 crowns and a bridge all under a general anesthetic and finally getting to go on our postponed dive holiday to South East Sulawesi Indonesia from 2020, it was more good vibes with all
