Implant or Injections
I am 21 diagnosed endo laparoscopy last year & had hormonal coil which is due for removal in December (I think it was containing my pain but now it isn’t)My pain is increasing dramatically so consultant has recommended implant or injections when coil is removed. I’m wondering how I am supposed to decide

New member - Post ET MF (Australia)
I'm 42, married with six children, and I live in Australia. In 2013, I was diagnosed with CAL-R positive ET. I started taking aspirin and managed pretty well. After a spontaneous bleed in my right quadricep, it was discovered that I also had a genetic bleeding disorder, dysfibrinogenemia. After that

Stem cell transplant (SCT) 15 months on
I'm now 15 months after my SCT and in my my recent review my figures are improving:WBC 4.0 HB 139 Neut 2.3, lymph1.12 and platelets 106 ( highest for a couple of years). I also had my CD4 lymphocytes measured and can now come off Acyclovir and pentamidine. Hooray! I hated those nebulisers. This leaves

stem cell transplant survival with MF
This link gives some figures for overall survival with or without a transplant. The headline really is the initial mortality close to the transplant is only worth risking if your MF is quite bad. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7218417/

Anyone turn down a stem cell transplant?
I have post ET MF. Currently I'm on Rux and getting monthly cycles of 5 aza. I don't need transfusions. Day to day I feel pretty good and can do most of what I want. The SCT was recommended because of the risk of progression to AML. I'm finding the decision making to get the SCT very difficult. My

On another subject …
Inspired bya post on another site I’d like to ask if anyone has high risk mutations and has NOT had a stem cell transplant and has NOT progressed to leukaemia? On the other site there were a few who had had MF for quite few years but with treatment were doing ok, and weren’t having transplants, for

Platelets dropped after obinituzumab and won't rise even after transfusion 🚨
Dear all, First of all, thank you very much for all the help and care I have always found on HealthUnlocked. I had my first infusion of obinituzumab and in my case, mainly due to my nephrotic syndrome kidney problem, I had a few problems. High fevers, which are common Attacks of hiccups that last

Momelotinib for Myelofibrosis
Hi, I have been suffering from primary MF for 9 years and have been on Ruxolitinib. However recently I was advised that Ruxolitinib is no longer effectively managing my MF. My platelets and Hb are low and my spleen has enlarged again. My consultant is trying to get me approved for Momelotinib. She

Travel and Ibrance
I was diagnosed with MBC in June, 2023. I am on Ibrance and letrozole. My medical history is complicated by having had a donor stem cell transplant in 2018 for T cell lymphoma. My immune system was compromised from that but now with Ibrance I'm not sure what to expect in terms of traveling and

stem cell for et?
Would stem cell transplant be an option for ET? I cannot take the Hydrea or Anagralide. Thanks for your feed back

SCT journey update No.2
Hi all, following on from my last post, have just heard from my clinical nurse that they have found three very good donor matches on the registers!! Have been somewhat impatient waiting but as this situation is so new and different for everyone, has been difficult to gauge what is right or wrong. Anyway

Still on hold for stem cell transplant
David has now completed 3 cycles of Vidaza. He had a bone marrow biopsy several weeks ago. At first we thought the results were good, that his cancer cells had been reduced sufficiently to proceed with transplant. After our local oncologist spoke to the transplant specialist at Mayo, we received word

HSCT early in MS
This is an interesting story about two women who went to Mexico and got Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation early in their disease. One, who was diagnosed with PPMS, received her transplant in the third year after diagnosis. The other, who was diagnosed with RRMS, got her transplant just twelve

Stem Cell transplant register search goes on…
Unfortunately my next appointment with Consultant has been delayed until early April as they are no further advanced in their search for matches on transplant register. The Nuclear medicine tests that I have just had will be added to MyChart which Addenbrookes uses to show appointments, test results
