Can anyone confirm if Ibrutinib is now available on prescription in the UK?
I just received an email from a friend to suggest it is available. I’m to start 6 months of BR treatment on Monday 12th January, and would be so relieved if I can try a non-chemotherapy drug instead. Dear Healthcare Professional I am pleased to inform you that Janssen UK has been granted European Medicines

Giant cell arteritis diagnosed 160115
Happy New Year. I've suffered with RA most of my life, and had cutaneous vasculitis. Now progressed to Giant Cell Arteritis in my temple area. Fisrt signs were tender scalp when hair drying and brushing. That night a sudden headache like no other. Nearest equivalent pain was a sudden bone fracture. Immediate

New approach could lead cancer cells down path of destruction
Cancer research has discovered that when double-strand break DNA damage occurs, in which both strands of the DNA double helix are severed, the cell can either attempt to repair the damage, which has a poor chance of success and may create a cancerous cell (or a more aggressive clone of an existing cancerous

Positive parietal cell antibody
After eventually seeing a neurologist with regard to my tingling limbs, I have today received a copy of a letter he sent to my GP. He says that the MRI scan was normal, so pleased about that. However, he then says, quote: "I note she as a positive parietal cell antibody and that some provisional blood

Narrowed esophagus
My Rheumy has asked me if I have difficulty swallowing. So I wonder if this is a symptom of GCA. I recently had a colonoscopy and endoscopy with a stretching of the esophagus. The gastro doctor informed me that my esophagus was very narrowed and wondered if it had been bothering me. He wondered if it

Blood counts very poor, soon to start BR, and unsure whether to have jabs? (See later post)
Hi everyone, Thanks for all your responses to my post 3 weeks ago. The blood test results on 10th December were confusing to say the least - WBC had increased from 81.6 to 123.5 since the previous tests at the end of November, while neutrophils, HB and platelets were all improved. My consultant was

Bone marrow Abnormalities and APS
Hi Just wondering if there is a link between bone marrow abnormalities and APS? I had a bone marrow biopsy at my local hospital and it has shown abnormalities in mast cells, chromasomes . . . I have been referred to Kings for another biopsy for specialised testing. Does anyone else have bone marrow abnormalities

Husband suffering from mantle cell lymphoma
I just wanted to find out what should one do to regain strength after the chemotherapy. My husband is completely drained out after his third chemotherapy. How should it be dealt with?

I joined the PAS and this forum at the beginning of Sept this year having been diagnosed with PA in May 2013. I hadn't received any loading doses and was put immediately onto 3 monthly injections. My readings on each subsequent visit to the Doc were around the 200 mark. Thanks to the forum I realised

Is there a better test for F1 antibodies?
Hi, I've been (blood) tested for F1 antibodies and the results were negative, but I've heard the test is notoriously unreliable - does anyone know of a better test that I could request or is the standard blood test the only one out there? I'm going to ask for a parietal cell antibody test, and possibly

Chemotherapy and placebos to control nausea
[i]"It’s unthinkable to give a placebo to someone to treat their cancer, but could we use one to treat chemotherapy’s well-known side effects? Unfortunately, we may never be able to answer this question because the biggest obstacle to finding out whether it would work is emotional rather than scientific
