Has anyone navigated Medicare while trying to get the TPIAT?
Hi All š We recently had a patient reach out to us about the TPIAT while on Medicare. Medicare covers the removal of the pancreas, but it does not cover the islet cell transplantation; the patient was quoted $70K for the islet cell transplantation. š They ask that anyone who has also navigated the

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

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 onā¦
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

Just wanted to share my Primary Myelofibrosis journey so farā¦ā¦.
Hi all, My diagnosis is Primary Myelofibrosis +Jak-2 &V617F mutation which was in August 2022. This was found after several visits to GP for chest infections and ultrasound scans which found an enlarged spleen. Also had bloods and bone marrow biopsy sent to Bartās hospital for confirmation. Initial

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

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

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

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

Just thought I would update my situation after being diagnosed with Nash in 2019. After changing my diet and losing 20 kilos I have been told by my surgeon who recently performed an operation to repair a large hiatus hernia that I do not have Nash. My liver has returned to its normal size and it's a
