Hi. I'm having a grim time at present, as the increased risk of aggressive skin cancers triggered by the ruxolitinib I’m taking ( was inc to 20mg bd at end December to help the fatigue ( it didn’t) ( now back to 15mg bd) haunts me. I’ve already had one SCC excised from my face, as I’d posted, and a

Extreme fatigue
Hi I may have questioned this before at an earlier time but it is still a big concern. My partner has post ET myelofibrosis. (ET for 5 years, diagnosed with myelofibrosis in April this year) He was taking hydroxycarbamide (not sure if I have spelt this right) for his ET and was started on Rux for

CLL with with WBC over 100,000
This is my first post. I was diagnosed with small B-cell CLL in 2009, at the Cleveland Clinic. The doctor thought he was reassuring me by saying, "I have seen patients live ten years with CLL." I have no symptoms at all but in the last 12 months, my WBC has gone from 12,000 to 101,900, with a jump

Myelofibrosis
Just wondering if anyone has a diagnosis of advanced or progressive post ET myelofibrosis. My partner was diagnosed a few months ago (ET diagnosed in 2016) with myelofibrosis. Since then he has been hospitalised with pneumonia and required potassium and a four units of blood. He was then discharged

Worried about low platelets - do I have Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia? (CLL/SLL) When will I need treatment?
Firstly, having low platelets doesn't mean you have
leukaemia
! There are lots of reasons for a low platelet count besides having blood cancer, including prescribed drugs and even some foods and supplements!

Experience with Fludarabine & Rituximab?
Hi, My mom (now 62 yrs old) was diagnosed with CLL about 5+ yrs ago, and her doctor recently told her that she needs to begin treatment. He recommended her to begin with combination of Rituximab + Fludarabine (in-patient treatment, via injections). I just wanted to know if anyone else has received this

What is CAR-T therapy? An expert explains in simple terms
Not specific to CLL but informative. CAR-T therapy is a completely new type of therapy that uses the immune system to kill cancer cells. In some cases it has cured people where all other treatments have failed. Professor Karl Peggs, Scientific Director of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR

New to it all
62 yo male here; was diagnosed with CLL in November of 2018. After three sets of bloodwork, a CT and a boner marrow biopsy Im told I continue on watch and wait. My only symptom is extreme fatigue which precludes me from working 8 hours a day. I should note that I’m also a long time bariatric patient.
