Genetic Testing?
Does anyone have an experience to share about getting genetic testing done on your biopsy samples? I'm interested in three tests: (1) a DECIPHER test, (2) a full gene sequencing of tumor DNA and RNA (e.g., at Claris Labs), and (3) the Artera AI analysis of digitized pathology slides. Also, if anyone

low serum iron. Normal ferritin
been getting very tired lately. ET (MPL) on pegysus 45ug every 2 weeks. Mentioned fatigue to haematologist and he suggested reducing peg further to 3 weekly. Got the above results after we got home. Also raised CRP but I do have a cold . raised neutrophils and wbc. Haem thought this was good as mounting

Iron infusion
I had my first iron infusion yesterday. I will be going back next week for another one. I would appreciate any advice, thoughts or comments. I did mention to the hematologist that I would like to get my iron up to 300 but he said you will not attempt what he called “iron saturation”. His aim is to get

Repeat Lutetium/ Pluvicto treatment
Hello all, I am just curious if anyone has experience doing additional lutetium treatments. I did three lutetium treatments from September 2021 to January 2022. My Denver oncologist is concerned about bone marrow toxicity , but he does not have enough experience with this treatment to say for sure.

How fast is brain iron deficiency restored after IV iron?
Hello everyone.In January I got transcranial sonography done and they found brain iron deficiency. I had ferritin at 150, TS at 30% so they gave me 500mg ferric carboxymaltose. We are planning to repeat it. My question is, those who had BID diagnosed, after how many infusions did RLS pain go away? Did

Update following meeting with MO
For those following my journey, I had a face-to-face meeting with my MO today and learnt a few things I didn't know. Firstly, the genetic test of the liver tumour the NHS do only tests for BRCA - no other genes. The reason appears to be that the only treatment they would offer is a Parp inhibitor so

long term omeprazole use
I was taking omeprazole for about 15 years and stopped in December last year, as I had done some research and found out it can affect stomach acid. No one told me to stop taking it. I don’t even know why I was put on it in the first place, up I think it was for IBS. I haven’t had any acid reflux or indigestion

Need Help For My GP…
I am having an ongoing discussion with my GP about giving me the dose I need for my deficiency (EOD). It has been mainly positive so far, during my appointment yesterday he did acknowledge that he knew little about this malady, he would also need to chat to his partners and get advice from a specialist

Has anyone tried pulsed electric magnetic field therapy for PMR relief?
I am having trouble tapering. Can't seem to get much below 15 mg; went down to 10 mg but still having some pain in the mornings. So increased dosage on advice of rheumy. At this rate, I'll be on prednisone for a long, long time. So wondering if anyone has tried alternative treatments to try to get
