I just had my 3rd round of Chemotherapy ( O CHOP). Doing pretty well, will see 2nd week is usually the hardest. My oncologist was very pleased with how I have responded (ei. Platelets 357 from 1st chemo 10).I also had a port put in my chest last week for easier access for infusion iOS and blood work.

Anyone else have to stop taking tacrolimus due to
kidney
toxicity? I am two years out from my deceased donor
transplant
. At one year, my
kidney
function was normal. Now, at two years, my creatinine is 2.2 and my eGFR is 31.

GFR question
Hi everyone, I'm a 59 year old male. I have high blood pressure and diabetes. A few years ago my GP said that I was dehydrated and need to drink more water. Didn't look at my test results other than to keep taking my meds for high blood pressure and diabetes. Fast forward to around 6 months ago I

Sorry it has been a while with an update on Ruxolitinib
The last time I wrote to you all was about 2/3 years ago when I started Ruxolitinib. The first 6 to 8 months I was a different person, I felt great. I started to swim, (200 lengths in 1.5 hours) then I started to get water infections, one after the other, chest infections, ear infections and shingles

How do you talk about your health journey?
Right in the midst of a pandemic and also when I was in the first year of recovering from a second
kidney
transplant
. I'm so keen to share what I've found helpful - which changes according to circumstance.

Lab work
Got my labs yesterday and. Was happy to see how well they were. ALB is still low but coming up. Kt/v was 2.41 not sure how they do that on hemo but I’ll take it. Potassium and phosphorus are in range as is hemoglobin. My PTH was low so I need to stop the calciteol. Since my BP at dialysis on Thursday

Harness the power of mantra
The mantra 'Om Sri dhanvantre namaha' - the mantra to the energy of the celestial physician I have often sought solace from, during difficult and transformative times e.g when my first
kidney
transplant
was failing and then for such soulful and present healing right after my second
kidney
transplant
.

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

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
