Celebrating -nasties have gone!
After several weeks of strong antibiotics, told pseudomonas etc has gone, no further action, three cheers! Now I have to get over tiredness caused by them, and hopefully go out in Jag when feel ok. Yes Jag has replacement seat belt lock, passed its MOT. Now going to Nebulise, always things to keep

Anti Covid treatments for the Immuno-compromised
Since last year, these patients – who primarily have blood cancers such as
leukaemia
, kidney disease or have had an organ transplant – have been able to access five anti-Covid drugs which prevent them from falling seriously ill and ending up in hospital.

green tea
I was told to drink lots of green tea when I was first diagnosed with CLL 9 months ago.But it seems like my spleen hurts more when I drink a cup of green tea or take a green tea capsule. Am I missing something?

Loosing the will to live
I nearly died at 14 years old and spent 10 days in hospital with suspected
Leukaemia
. Since then I have needed constant iron supplements to prevent anaemia (tablets made me ill, so I eventually used liquid iron), until 2009 when supplements made no difference whatsoever.

Dx of ET vs PV
Some of this is likely redundant, but we have many posts on this subject and plenty of curiosity. Here is a bit more, as always no single report is the last word: The most interesting finding is that RBC, a measure we all get in our CBC, FBC, can distinguish Jak2 ET and PV when marrow points to an
