Transplant at age 68 or not
I've had myelofibrosis for about 30 years and been on ruxolitinib successfully for about 8 years. We have just moved to Scotland and my new consultant has laid it on the line that rux doesn't go on working for ever and my only other option is transplant. This seems right to me but I am very nervous about

Nutrition and Cll
I was diagnosed with Cll 3 months ago but my GP doctor suspected it a year ago. I am on W&W. I am wondering if I need to be on any kind of special diet and what supplements to take or not to take? The hematologist asked for a list of prescriptions and supplements I take but did not comment on them.

MBL is now CLL
Hi all, My MBL has progressed to CLL stage 1 after 8 years which I am struggling to come to terms with. I am now 51. Small glands in neck and groin and possibly a slightly enlarged spleen my lymphocytes were around 12-14 For couple of years but shot up to 24 recently. I am getting scams in 3 months.

8 months
So after 8 months on Ibrutinib my spleen is close to normal size, my blood count is normal, but 1/4 to 1/3 of my lymphocytes are still CLL. Side effects are gone, although I do get the odd day with stiff joints. Great progress, and my life is almost normal again. I didn’t respond to the Covid vaccines

Greater Understanding of PV, ET Drives Potential New Treatment Options
“Continued high-impact research may soon foster the development of disease-modifying therapies for PV and ET and satisfy this need for the optimal management of patients with these MPNs,” they said. Researchers are also determining how to best optimize current treatment options, including JAK inhibitors

Relapsing on Ibrutinib
Hello everyone, as I mention here a few weeks ago, my treatment with Ibrutinib is going to end soon due to (Dr. thinks) a mutation. I am going to see the Oncologist in 2 weeks and I have to make a decision which treatment I want to be put on. There are two options open for me. One is Venetoclax and

From the CLL14 Study: Venetoclax Plus Obinutuzumab Prolongs Progression Free Survival, Not Overall Survival , in CLL
These results, from the CLL14 study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02242942), were presented at the European Hematology Association (EHA) 2021 Virtual Congress. Extended follow-up suggests that venetoclax plus obinutuzumab prolongs progression-free survival (PFS), but not overall survival (OS), when

STELLAR Trial in the UK for Richter's
Just a reminder that there is a UK trial at 17 centres around the UK for patients who have a Richter's transformation of their CLL. The usual treatment for Richter’s syndrome is R-CHOP. This is a combination of chemotherapy drugs and a targeted drug called rituximab. This treatment can help and cure

I have had both doses of the Pfizer vaccine, while they applauded me after I got my 2nd dose, 90 days later I found that I have no immunity!
I took Ibrutinib prior to January 20 when it gave me AFib and a few other problems, then stated Venetoclax in July of 2020, and in August started the first of six doses of Rituxan. It would seem that Rituxan is the main culprit, as in my research I found that no immunity was created in cases which

Flair trial ends MRD negative
Looking back on my journey started just over 8yrs ago I can remember the GP telling me you have chronic lymphocytic
leukaemia
but not to worry my mother had it for years and didn’t need treatment (well she got that wrong) and sent me off with a print out saying you will get a appointment from the hospital

[CASE-STUDY] Myocarditis Concurrent with Sweet Syndrome: A Presentation of Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
In this case, the Sweet's syndrome (SS) developed secondary to acute myeloid

(AML). In AML, the heart muscle can be infiltrated by malignant

RUXOLITINIB
Two weeks ago I was lucky enough to be accepted for the drug Ruxolitinib. Previously I was on Hydroxycarbamide which my body rejected and caused breathing problems. All went well for the first week on Ruxotilib but 4 days ago I started feeling very unwell lightheadedness, nauseous, bloating all the side
