ASH 2013: Dr. Jeff Sharman Discusses FCR versus BR in CLL
Hi Friends On my blog today http://bkoffman.blogspot.com I share my ASH interview with Dr. Sharman where we discussed the data on FCR versus BR. While this is less the exciting news it would have been a few years back before the emerging era of targeted therapies,, it is still important for a significant

Polymyalgia Rheumatica and Giant Cell Arteritis: A Survival Guide. This book is a must for your bookshelf or kindle
Just purchased and read Kate's book ... amazing! It should be on all our bookshelves or at least in our Kindle's at present. Although I'm an atypical PMR sufferer being a very fit and active 51 year old man when I got condition last year I found myself drawn into Kate's book and could not put it down

I am feeling worried about the possibility of having a bone marrow transplant with my sister as donor.
I have read all the hospital pamphlets and a transplant seems like a very difficult process with many long term side effects. One pamphlet said 'you will feel ill for a year after the bone marrow transplant and may never fully regain your health'. Another said it may cause cataracts a couple of years

My husband, Rick 66 y, has refractory DLBC Lymphoma. He has had front line and salvage chemos: RCHOP, RICE, GEMOX, HC-VAD, Rituxan/Revlimid.
These chemos have kept the cancer at bay but none have been successful with remission or PR. Rick has just started Treanda/Rituxan. After a week enlarged nodes in armpit and groin areas are shrinking. Severe lymphodema in arm and leg is going down rapidly. Would welcome comments, feedback and experiences

Book on the way!
Hi there, Over the last few months I have been working on a book that puts together, for people with PMR and GCA, what I have learned over the years working with the people involved with PMRGCAuk, and the expert clinicians who are treating patients and researching the causes and courses of these illnesses

Will this DNA checking technology enable us to kill cancerous cells while leaving healthy cells untouched?
We've heard of FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization) testing, where fluorescent probes are used to identify whether we have previously identified faulty (mutated) DNA sequences that are most likely responsible for us developing CLL. We also know that FISH prognostic testing can give us an indication

Dr Sharman on Relapsed Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DBLC)
Dr Sharman's latest blog looks at how R-CHOP became established as the most commonly used standard of care for DBLC (i.e. how patients fared better when rituximab was added to the existing CHOP therapy) and what options are available for relapsed DBLC patients. While not specifically relevant to CLL

New research reveals more about Giant Cell Arteritis
New research has been revealed about how Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA) may be caused by a certain group of white blood cells called "neutrophils". GCA (also known as Temporal Arteritis TA ) is a condition which causes inflammation in the blood vessels and primarily affects the elderly. http://www.vasculitis.org.uk

Bone marrow transplant
Hi All I know its a long shot but have any of you ever heard of someone having a bone marrow transplant for severe vasculitis. I know there has been for WG and Bechets but it is minimal. I would ideally like to get a personal perspective. Thank you Sarah

can non hodgkins lymphoma be diagnosed with blood tests and scans (ct,mri, or ultra sound scan)?
I have had all these scans, awaiting the outcome of the last one. I have swellings on my kneck, upper chest and the inside of my right knee. My mother died from hodgkins disease when she was 58yrs, I would be grateful for any feedback. many thanks

Bone Marrow Biopsy for the Initial Staging of Patients With Lymphoma: Too Soon to Toss the Trephine
Those of us that would prefer avoiding Bone Marrow Biopsies (BMBs) and the pain associated with having the trephine (the surgical instrument used to cut out a bone sample) shoved into our hip, will not be encouraged by what's been reported on the Cancer Networks site. While CLL (which is both a Leukaemia

Does anyone have first hand experience concerning non-hodgkinson's lymphoma?
I have been diagnosed with Scleroderma and have an appointment with my Rheumatologist next week. As a prelude, I have been reading over the last report he sent to my GP. In the letter he mentions IV Cylophosamide and says this should be considered. Of course, its all Serbo-Croat to me, I find it strange
