Ibrutinib Resistance
Hello Everyone, I have been a long time reader of this forum and it has been extremely helpful. My mother (73 yrs old) was diagnosed with CLL about 8 years ago. She went through several treatments: Chlorambucil for 3 yrs, then Bendamustine/Rituximab (6 cycles) with remission for 1.5 yrs. Afterwards,

Red wine
Is a glass of red wine a day helpful or harmful for Polycythemia Vera? I’ve read that resveratrol might affect the JAK2 mutated cells.

As Ruxolitinib is no longer working well, my haematologist has suggested combining either Danazol, Thalidomide or Prednisone with the Ruxo. Has.anyone any experience of this? What are the pros and cons? I am very worried about the side effects. Thankyou SkipperL

10 Years With CLL: Two Trials & Lifesaving CAR T-Cell Therapy
I rarely cross post to Patient Power but today there is a story by a fellow CLL patient I have known for many years as DebinOz. She is one of the few I know of with a more aggressive form of CLL than mine. And I think she has more air miles than my 750,000 with United. Len - See: https://patientpower.info

Side effects of Interferon
Eight months ago I started taking Ruxolitinib. Prior to that I was taking HU which made me quite ill. However Ruxolitinib is not working and rather than my platelets lowering they have gone up, were 600 now 987 and sometimes higher, also I have developed a serious skin cancer on my neck and leg. I

Phase 3, Trial of Interferon-α versus Hydroxyurea in Polycythemia Vera and Essential Thrombocythemia
Key Points Rates of thrombosis and progression were low in patients with ET/PV treated with either HU or IFN in this randomized study. PEG was more effective in normalizing counts and reducing JAK2V617F VAF in PV while HU induced more histopathologic responses in ET. https://ashpublications.org/blood

Foundation webinar for patients in Australia was that they should not waste time waiting for a RAT/LFT to be able to determine if they are positive but to access a PCR test as soon as possible if Covid is suspected.

CLL patient cured a decade after gene therapy
In 2010, doctors treated Doug Olson’s leukemia with an experimental gene therapy that transformed some of his blood cells into cancer killers. More than a decade later, there’s no sign of cancer in his body. The treatment cured Olson and a second patient, according to the University of Pennsylvania doctors

Chlorinated water protective for CLL?
Wow, surprising. Just found out my water filter hadn't been working and I've been drinking different levels of chlorinated for ? years. So just quickly googled, wondering if that explained my diagnosis 2019. But no! Maybe I should turn off my filter and put Britta aside as well --

can't get a letter for a priority PCR with CLL.
Tearing my hair out and getting nowhere trying to get myself a priority PCR! I am starting to feel forgotten and about by both my CNS and surgery. I have CLL on W&W. The surgery said I just need to ring 119. They will not help unless I have a letter. The CNS said noone has asked her for a letter before

Clinical trials for Richter's transformation
Hello. I would like to ask if you know of any current clinical trials for patients with Richter's Transformation who have already reached the Car-T and it did not work for them. We have in our group a very young 22-year-old boy whose Car-Ts didn't work for him in the UK. They have told him that they

This is not good enough !!!
Ronapreve, Monupiravir, Sotrovimab, only for some - and only when infected? This does not sound like protecting the immunocompromised - more like shutting the stable door for some and leaving it wide open for others.
