Hello - how to get message across to drs.
Hi. I’m Jacquie. I was diagnosed with ET in October, Myelofibrosis in January. Had a stroke last July which led to the diagnosis. Hard to know which condition causes symptoms.

Feeling low
Hello everyone. Well, it’s 11 months since my lovely Mum died and 10 months since HA. I’m confused! I thought a HA was a totally blocked artery. Mine was a small narrowing and they put a little stent in. I am battling with anxiety and depression on a daily basis and feel sometimes that my life is over

Possible B12 deficiency, feeling so very unwell
I’m seeing the doctor this afternoon about possible B12 deficiency symptoms. Any advice on how to approach this with the doctor would be really appreciated. Brief history: I’m 36, mum of 3 boys. I’ve got an under active thyroid, my dose at moment is 75mcg levothyroxine daily, this (I’m told) is keeping

Relapse Post radical debulking and first line chemo treatment
Hi all, Apologies if this has been covered in previous posts, however, i couldn't find any information from what I've read thus far. Is there a specific type of ovarian cancer cell that responds better to inhibitors? From what I've read, most ovarian cancers are epithelial and I'm assuming most of the

Step in the right direction
Went and saw a MH professional today for what was essentially a watered down evaluation. Broke down and cried in the office. Admitted to her that I was thinking about death and dying. I told her that I don't want to feel this way anymore and that I need more help. She was kind, but worried. I had to

Pre implantation genetic testing (PGT)
Hi, has anyone had the embryo screening done? My first transfer failed with no explanation. Clinic said I had the best chance, the blastocysts were of good quality and everything was in my favour. They were shocked it didn't develop. We are going to pay to have this testing done, we are very lucky to

Melanoma and genetics
I was going to make this a long message, but decided to just give you a brief rundown. When my son's melanoma reoccurred in 3025, he got genetic testing under advisement of his oncologist. I will be eternally grateful that he did. My husband, my son's father, was diagnosed with melanoma in 1993. Turns

The long road to reaching my goals
