Explainer: what’s actually in our blood?
Fortunately for us with CLL, our CLL/SLL cells are quite small - almost as small as red blood cells, hence the name [u]Small[/u] Lymphocytic

for the variant of CLL/SLL where B-cells are barely present in the blood. Prof.

Exposure to Glyphosate (Round Up)? Any one believe this could be a factor in developing Non Hodgkins Lymphoma?
In my 20s, 30s, 40s and early 50s, I used Round Up intermittently in my gardens as Round Up was my go to treatment for controlling weeds. In hindsight, not such a good choice. But at the time, I thought this product is great! I just spray it on the weeds and in the next days the weeds die. Easy Peezy

Good news!
So I went to the hematologist today and for the first time in years my platelets were at normal levels. But my anemia is getting worse. He took me off hydroxyurea which I’ve been taking every day for over over 11 years. I also take 20 mgs of Jakafi every day. I have ET Jak2 positive and PV. Any thoughts

Diagnosis for insurance
Hi all I've been trying to sort insurance for my holiday. I explained I have Essential thrombocytosis jak2 +. I tried to explain it comes under the unbrella of a myeloproliferative neoplasm which the operator didn't understand? He asked me if I had essential thromobythaemia and I said my diagnosis is

Bendamustine and Rituximab and liver toxicity
My first round of BR went fine with no change in liver numbers. My ALT and AST are usually under 20. Three days after my second round they were slightly over 20, 5 days after the second round they were close to 40, and 10 days after the second round (today) they are over 100, which concerns me. Has anyone

High MCV
Hi, I have PV and being treated with hydroxycarbamide 1000/1500mg alternate days. This seems to be keeping main bloods under control apart from a steady increase in my MCV level. When I last saw my haematologist 3 months ago he was very relaxed about it, saying it was only to be expected when on hydroxycarbamide

I’ve had Polycythemia Vera for 10 years. Dr. suspects it is turning into Myleofibrosis
Good morning. I was diagnosed about 10 years ago with Polycythemia Vera. I am Jak2 positive. I was prescribed hydroxyurea and one low-dose aspirin a day. I also had phlebotomies when my hematocrit was over 42. Recently my hematologist felt like my polycythemia vera May be changing into Myleofibrosis.

Bendamustine and Rituximab and Low Lymphocyte Count
After two sessions of B and R my ALC is 0.23. It went as low as 0.03 soon after the first session. I don't know whether such low numbers are good or bad. Does anyone else on B and R have anything to say about this? What number do we want?

High Red Blood counts neg. Jak2 and all mutation tests
I have been diagnosed with primary polycythemia because all of my red blood counts were all quite high. My platelets were normal but monocytes were high and mutation tests came back negative. I’m scheduled to see hematologist in a month, it’s frustrating! I read that sometimes mutation ie jak2 sometimes

A phase II trial of eltrombopag for patients with CLL and thrombocytopenia
Approximately 5% of patients with previously‐untreated chronic lymphocytic
leukaemia
(CLL) and 25–30% of patients with previously‐treated CLL have thrombocytopenia (Tsang & Parikh, 2017). As thrombocytopenia is commonly seen in active CLL, the diagnosis of CLL‐associated ITP can be difficult.
