Myelofibrosis worsened so going to start ruxolitinib
I've had my second consultant appointment since being diagnosed with post ET myelofibrosis about 1 month ago. Then I was intermediate level 1 with platelet count 117 which gave me a median survival of 14 years. Now my platelets have gone down to about 70 do I'm now intermediate level 2 with a median

Time to quit?
A little over a decade ago I went down with a form of
leukaemia
, since when chemo, illness and injury have periodically knocked me back to newbie level.

Where does CLL apoptosis take place?
After watching the video (Living With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia) I’m curious as to where the CLL cells death (apoptosis) takes place? In the blood? In the marrow? In the lymph nodes? In the spleen? All of the above? The part of the video (below*) is what got me thinking about this. “Dr. Vose: Bruton's

HLH & CLL
Hi All, CLL diagnosed in 2014 and HLH on top of that in 2018. HLH makes CLL look like a cold it's nasty and I thank God for every day that I'm still here and as of yet not needed a transplant. I'm now 43 years of age. Is anyone out there in the same boat? Have a great weekend all! 😊

New Diagnosis - Everything Normal except cytology
Just diagnosed this month, age 49. My lymphocytes are elevated and my cytology shows “atypical” CLL. All my other labs were good and I am mutated with normal FISH results. My doc says this is all good but I feel like I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop. Like someone is going to come to me and say,

Hairy cell leukaemia - treatment update
Quick update one week after my 5 day subcutaneous chemo jabs ended. So far so good, I've managed a few one mile or so walks with my daughter, am sleeping well, eating well but have lost nearly a stone (13 lb) weight over the last 6 weeks, and get tired if I over-exert myself. Also having a lot of night

Pfizer buys a company
They bought Trillium. I mention this because this company has a few blood cancer treatments in its pipeline including one that targets TP-53 mutation but for AML and NOT CLL, at least not yet. Still, with their expertise in the realm of treatments for blood cancers and now with the added resources of

CLL Transform to Lymphoma?
My ophthalmologist specialist is pretty sure I have ocular lymphoma. I will have a biopsy on August 25th. Does anyone have background on CLL combining with lymphoma?

Lactase Dehydogenase level high!
I started seeing an MPN specialist on July 1. He tested for lactase dehydrogenase and in was 242. I just had it repeated and it is now 327. My platelets rose from 648 to 725, wbc went from 13 to 16. HCT went down a little bit from 48.3 to 47.5 which I think both are high for female. I am really bothered

CLL Diet
My Oncologist told me diet has no effect on CLL. Does anyone have input as to a good diet while undergoing treatment now that it is soon to start for me? Even though we need Lipids, cutting back on them may help. Anybody heard that too? I gained too much weight during 2020 pandemic, and feel that will

Clarifying the problem of T-cell 'exhaustion'
Researchers in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania have illuminated an important limitation of the immune system in prolonged battles against cancers or viruses: T cells, which are among the most powerful weapons in the immune systems of humans and other vertebrates, remain

Myelofibrosis Treatment Option
Just saw this Webinar announced. Thought it might be of interest to some. Note that it is sponsored by a pharmaceutical company, so will likely focus on something they have in development. Welcome to this live expert webinar,
sponsored by Bristol-Myers Squibb.

Pelabresib May Represent Optimal Partner for JAK Inhibition in Myelofibrosis
The benefits yielded with the BET inhibitor pelabresib (formerly CPI-0610) in patients with myelofibrosis are multifold, and the agent’s potential to improve disease biology and overcome shortcomings faced with JAK inhibitors make it a strong partner for combinations and a stand-out option vs other agents
