My precious daughter
***HELP NEEDED DESPERATELY*** My precious daughter was unfortunately diagnosed with Multiple Hepatic Adenomas in November 2021. She has currently got 12 of these tumours in her liver. In January 2022 she had a liver resection, as the largest tumour was hemorrhaging at the time. The right half of her

Itching due to medication??
Hello, I had a liver transplant 3 years ago and take tacrolimus, mycophenolate and prednisone for anti rejection. I have recently had a very itchy localised rash on my neck which I have been treating with hydrocortisone cream. This is having no effect. I was wondering if it could be a reaction to any

Sauna post-kidney transpant
My kidney transplant was almost 2 years ago. All is doing well. I have loved my home sauna in the past and would love to resume using it this fall/winter. My transplant doctor suggests that would NOT be a good idea - not because of hydration issues, which could be managed but because the heat of the

low WBC Count & CMV Update
Okey, I haven’t posted for a while because I haven’t felt terribly well. I’m fairly sure this is due to the high dose of Valcyte I’m taking and have taken for all but 2 months since the first week of June. BACKGROUND I had a kidney transplant the week before Thanksgiving 2022. The surgery went well

Liver Transplant - Lest we forget
When a person embarks on a liver journey, there are many people involved in their treatment over possibly many years. There are a multitude of medical professionals who become involved. These may range from the gastroenterologist who in turn refers their patient to a hepatologist. All the imagery people

Well I've had all my tests, I'm now severe, got pulmonary hypertension so the lung reduction is out of the question, apparently. I can go forward for a lung transplant but you know, I caused this with smoking, I gave up 2 years ago. And I don't fancy having my ribcage opened and someone else's blood

hi Hi since a liver transplant 3.5 months ago I have been getting burning feet esp at night. It has gradually worsened and now I get it during the day with pain and swelling and my hands have kicked off now. It is so bad at times I just can’t walk with the discomfort and pain. I’ve heard it’s due

Second kidney transplant
Hi, My nephrologist is putting in the application for me to go back onto the transplant list. I am very lucky as I have had my first transplant for over 28 years. My GFR is running at 12. Something I wondered about is do they remove my previous transplant and put the new one in the same place? I

Transplant.vs dialysis
Hi. I am going through the process for a kidney transplant. I had my first appointment with the transplant deans was supposed by what he was saying. I felt like he was trying to talk me ougetting a transplant. He told me there was no guarantee a transplant would improve my life more than dialysis.

start of my SCT journey
Hi pawb I’m primary MF and Cal-r positive. I’ve been on Epo injections for 30 weeks which has kept my red cells in the high 90s. My platelets are in the low 40s. I have started to take Ruxolitinib but because of my low platelets 5mg 2 times a day. This will hopefully reduce my spleen. I have been told

hot flushes
I’ve struggled with these for about twenty years and they have diminished over time. However, since going on preds, just over five weeks ago, they have got worse. Nothing like when they were at their worst when I was younger, but boy do they wake me up, when my sleep is pretty poor anyway, since the

Stem Cell Transplant update
I am now close to 6 months from my sct. I feel well in myself except for side affects from steroids which I should be off in a week. They make it difficult to sleep, make me hungry and over full of energy . Many of my blood counts are in normal range except for platelets. These keep yo-yoing around

Charity request for help: GCA patients in England
Dear members with GCA, as you may be aware, NICE and NHS England don't currently allow repeat treatment with tocilizumab for GCA patients who relapse. This means that if you live in England and you've had a year's treatment with tocilizumab, you won't be prescribed it again. However, a recent study

CYSTOSCOPY NEGATIVE August 2023
Hey Ladies and Gents. The urologist/oncologist says we can stop the monthly chemo infusions since my urinary bladder looks free of any neoplasm. And next April (2024), if it holds, I’ll be cancer free for three years and can get back on the lung transplant list. “Let your last thinks all be thanks
