Covid trial in UK examines mixing different vaccines
A UK trial has been launched to see if giving people different Covid vaccines for their first and second doses works as well as the current approach of using the same type of vaccine twice. The idea is to provide more flexibility with vaccine rollout and help deal with any potential disruption to supplies

New mutation
Morning all I haven’t posted for a while as have been struggling along nicely on peg ...... My platelets have remained steady although my HCT has been creeping up.

I’m 67 and about 2 years ago was diagnosed with Myelofibrosis with no real symptoms it was picked up with a routine blood test. Still in a bit of shock even now. I have avoided google and the like. Stem cell replacement had been ruled out I guess because of my age. But I can’t except that there is no

Scottish Medicines Agency has decided in favour of Venetoclax plus Obintuzumab for some patients.
The NICE decision was possible thanks to the efforts of charities including CLL Support, Lymphoma Action,

Richter’s Transformation - Results of my Pseudo Richter Human Genome study
Hi. As I mentioned earlier, Professor Elias Campo did a study of my Ricther to try to understand the behavior I copy and paste the result Our cases are helping that Richter's transformation is not the great unknown within the world of CLL. We have sequenced the entire genome of the CLL and the lymph

Vaccinate or not?
I have just spoken with my haematologists office and asked what is recommended for those taking Hydroxy etc. We are advised to have a vaccination, it doesn't matter which one. If you have Aplastic Anemia then he would speak with you first. So pleased I've been given the go ahead!

One for Prof Harrison via Maz?
While I was having my transfusion today I overheard a nurse telling a patient that if they were on any type of immunosuppressive treatment that that should be discontinued before receiving covid vaccine. I am taking 20mg Ruxolitinib twice daily and have a consistently low white count with neutrophils

Self-introduction
Hi, I'm a 72-year-old USA male, no symptoms, but diagnosed a month ago with CLL through routine blood workup (plus the usual FISH-followup after high WBC noted). So I've been reading assiduously, and trying to figure out when/how to assemble a team. For me it's W&W, with another blood assay in 3 months

Surviving Covid
Hi everyone. I have PV and early MF. I take Ruxolitinib . I am 44. I have shielded as many of us have. As a family with 3 children, we have been very careful to avoid places and people but yet contracted Covid the week before Christmas. I am still recovering from terrible fatigue and also developed panic
