Rapamycin
I have friends using low doses of this drug and I have an appointment with a doctor that prescribes it. When I asked my Hematologist at Mayo about it they said this drug may be get approved sooner than later for MPN’s. Has anyone researched this or used it. It is a drug used for organ transplants but

Doctor cannot fully diagnose without bone marrow biopsy and PET scan?
Update Results: Hello i did have the cyclometery test done, but i didnt put it here before. Is thaat the same as a FISH test? Here are my results: An abnormal CD5-positive B cell population accounts for approximately 35% of lymphocytes and 13% of total events. This population shows kappa restriction

Second Malignancies Among Older Patients With Classical MPN Treated With Hydroxyurea
TAKE-HOME MESSAGE In this retrospective cohort study of 4023 patients aged ≥66 years with classical Philadelphia chromosome–negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), there was no significant difference in the incidence of solid or hematologic second malignancies in patients treated with hydroxyurea

CLL highly correlated to other cancers?
My husband has MBL - I understand this as stage 0 CLL. He is asymptomatic and well. His iron/ ferritin suddenly dropped and a small bowel malignant tumour was diagnosed and successfully removed. The Haematologist who manages the CLL commented that it’s unsurprising that he developed a secondary cancer

Study shows that over half of known human pathogenic diseases can be aggravated by climate change

Relapse Worries? Help, Please!
Hi everyone, I started treatment (V + O) in January 2020; a year later, I was done, and had a flow blood result of "no detectable abnormalities" or whatever. Yay! Today, however, I got the results of another flow blood test, 20 months after treatment ended, and it says "the immunophenotype of these

Monoclonal gammopathy and serum immunoglobulin levels as prognostic factors in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia
"Immune dysregulation represents a dynamic process evolving during time, often towards hypogammaglobulineamia, especially therapy-related or during disease progression,8-11 and thus with a different subdivision over time. Nevertheless our study constitutes a ‘photograph’ at diagnosis of CLL patients

Thrombocytosis of no known cause?
But my haematologist back then said he treated

Monoclonal antibodies vs. Paxlovid

Stem Cell Transplant-update
Well, I have been below the radar lately but it’s time to update you all. I was diagnosed moth PMF in April 2020 and declined quite quickly. I have CALR with ASXL1 mutation. I went through rapidly increasing dose of Peg INF but moved over to Ruxolitinib when my platelet count dropped. The rux helped

New Diagnosis :what does all this blood work mean?
I was recently diagnosed with CLL. My hematologist/oncologist ran the standard tests and this is some of the info I see: No Jak2 17 mutation detected, No 9 mutation detected, No 12 mutation detected, No 10 mutation detected, No 14/17 Mutation detected A negative FISH for BCR-ABLI fusion. 2 weeks

Treatment characteristics desired by renal cell carcinoma patients.
I am trying to learn more about health issues that are priority for the patients and their expectations for possible treatments.
I am conducting series of preference studies around the APAC region to understand patient preference and satisfaction with the patient care.
Such preference studies

Jak2 targeting for therapies
We've had posts on promising immune therapies for CALR. These take advantage of the fact that CALR is findable in the body. A related item is the resistance of Jak2 being discovered and thus a barrier to immune therapies for Jak2. Here is a very technical report I don't understand, but I believe

stinging itch
I have been free of the stinging itch for nearly 4 years thanks to ruxolitinib but has all of a sudden returned and I wondered if the same has happened anyone else?

MF high risk Mutations
This has been covered in some form before. But I came across this report that summarizes misc info from Cornell in a nice clean manner. See link, it's easy reading. A specific takeaway is with the high risk (HMR) mutations in yellow here they lean toward SCT (stem cell transplant) if possible rather
