Good sats - so why so breathless?
THAT is indeed the question. Why, with my peripheral O2 levels at 94/5 %even 96% am I still fighting to breath? It goes like this. I wake short of breath. I rise and take my Oximeter (I have several; they all show the same) . My level is, say 92%. I do controlled breathing using a computer monitor

Afternoon all, Apologies for the radio silence for the best part of six months. I never intended to leave it this long before updating you all but life (and a certain little miss) got in the way! Cassie Jean Jackson came kicking and screaming in to the world at 8.28 am on Monday 16th October last

One year stem cell transplant anniversary
This week a year ago I received my donor's stem cells. For those of you not following my posts, it was hard going in the early months but by late June things were looking a lot better both mentally and physically and my hair started its return.. My platelets were one of the slowest things to recover

have you had trouble getting approved for stem cell transplant?
I have had a wild ride last year beginning with a sudden decline in weight from 240 lbs - 165 lbs. accompanying the weight loss has also been an alarming increase in fatigue, cognitive ability, pain in my arms and legs, some times to the point where I can hardly feel my legs not to mention the

Successfully treated my Multiple Myeloma and now in remission from both MM and PCA
I successfully completed my induction cycles for treatment of my Multiple Myeloma. Mayo Clinic confirmed I am in remission from MM. I completed collection of my stem cells for future transplant if needed. 9 days down there - 21 appointments. The Bone Marrow Transplant Center at the Mayo, does not mess

Immune Responses + Autoimmune Myelofibrosis
There were some posts a few weeks ago on adverse immune responses after vaccination for people using interferons. I had this experience while transitioning form HU to Peg, firstly with a covid jab last December and secondly with the first of the Shingrix jabs in March, which triggered, at the very least

Start of my Stem Cell Journey 0.3
Well, where do I start. The transplant team wanted to increase my Rux to 10 mgs which has been really good for me. So much energy hardly any symptoms and overall feeling better. The fly in the ointment is my blood levels are dropping red cells were 80 and my platelets were in the 30’s. My Haematologist

RA and live flu vaccine
HiMy daughter has rung to say my 2 year old grandson has just had a live flu vaccine. She said the GP has said to avoid people with very compromised immune systems, eg. they said, having bone marrow transplants, for a week. She asked if it was safe for them to see me and was told they had no guidance

Pluvicto Treatment
So, I just completed my 3rd round of Pluvicto and my primary oncologist wanted me to do a CT scan w/contrast and a bone scan. The Ct showed some increase in cancer in the liver and a number of other spots. I am only doing Pluvicto and no other treatment as requested. Are there other people who are receiving

tp53 mutation
Hi All, my dad has been diagnosed with CLL and has just had it confirmed that he has the TP53 mutation/deletion. He is stable at the moment and is currently on watch & wait. His consultant has said if and when he starts treatment it will be for life or until it isn’t effective. I’ve read lots that say

Different mutation?
I was just checking via my NHS app what had been sent to my GP, when I noticed on a letter from Guys this - it listed my mutations - CGN - normal karotype, NGS - CALR, L2AF1, ASXL2. (High risk markers) Previously I thought I was ASXL1, it could be a typo I suppose but does anyone know the difference
