Update.
Had my last infusion of Rituximab today. A doctor came to speak with me, apparently my cll is not responding to the infusions. They are hoping that this last dose will trigger a reaction but she is doubtful. She asked if I had ever taken acalabrutinib to which I said no and I think i have heard that

Lymphatic drainage massages
After reading CLL is dormant in the blood stream but active in the lymph nodes I wondered if it might be be beneficial to keep the cells circulating out of the lymph nodes as much as possible. It seems intuitive exercise and hydration would be good for this potentially but should have no real negative

A ‘wobble’ caused by subset 6 CLL.
Hi all, a very ocasional póster here but avid reader of the many highly informed contributors that make this site what it is. I was diagnosed with stage ‘A’ CLL in 2021 and continue to be on W & W. I have many of the classic symptoms but not severe enough to warrant treatment - yet! I’ve recently been

Doctors opinion ….
Obviously I am very concerned about transforming to
Leukaemia
, and would like to prevent that if possible, even though he said it would probably be a couple of years at least. I am 70 and not ready to go yet! I will see what Professor Harrison’s opinion is.

Feeling Happier
He explained about the risks of my MF transforming, because of the mutations I have, he said possibly In around 5 years I had a 20-25% chance of
leukaemia
, but 75% of NOT having it, and by 10 years the risk increased to around 37%. So I’m feeling a lot more positive.

Besremi, Pegasys and Jakafi adverse event question?
As said before, my brother started Besremi recently. And since then I am doing some researches about the safety of drugs for PV and other MPN. To ease my anxious, I guess, my brother sent me a slide seems from Pharmaessential (the mfg of Besremi), as above. The title of the slide is "Besremi is far

Some results, at last
I had some blood sent for Next Generation Sequencing back in March, I’ve been waiting for the results. Consultant phoned this afternoon, he says I am now post ET MF or words to that effect! My platelets are currently 559, I’m on one capsule of Anagrelide twice a day. I was extremely anaemic and after

Is MBL the same as CLL stage 0?
hi. I recently got diagnosed with MBL and I’m reading a lot about CLL stage zero on this board. I’m a little confused with the terminology. I’m trying to understand if it is the same thing or not can anyone help?

Benzene
Have MPN ppl here been exposed to benzene?I recently read it can be detrimental to the bone marrow. As a child if I got paint on my hands we would clean it off with pure benzene. I'm wondering if that is why I have PV and my sister has lymphoma. My MPN doc says no - the amount would not have been enough

Annoyed and Need to Vent
I had a blood that showed elevated counts in RBC’s, hemoglobin, and hematocrit. I got referred to a hematologist who did the JAK2 test and tested my EPO. JAK2 test is not detected & EPO is normal. He suggested that I do not have a MPN, phew what a relief right? Nope. Told me I should give blood every

Myelofibrosis and bone pain
how do people manage bone pain with Myelofibrosis. I used to get a dull ache in my shin bone only at night occasionally but now it is just about daily and is impacting on my ability to sleep. I bought CBD oil but it is not really helping and paracetamol doesn’t work at all. I don’t want to get into

Anyone able to put on weight with bile salt malabsorption?
living with bile salt malabsorption from radiation to treat
leukaemia
. I reckon my weight has been a steady 20% less than it should be. And I have a very low BMI. Cholestyramine has made a HUGE difference to my condition. But has anyone found a way to increase weight?

eyesight problems
hi all, I hope you are all keeping well. Just wanted to ask people who are on Interferon, have they noticed a vast change in their eyesight or is it just from the Essential Thrombocythemia itself… I know when you usually ask the Haemo docs they don’t know or are not aware of it TIA

What does bone pain feel like?
My bf keeps having this recurrent pain in his elbow. I know CLL can cause bone pain but how would he know if that’s what he’s experiencing?
