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

Hairy Cell Leukaemia
I was diagnosed with hairy cell
leukaemia
in may 2018. I was treated with cladribine. I gained partial remission in December 2018. After a bone marrow biopsy in March 2019 my
leukaemia
is growing again and I need further treatment.

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

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?

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.

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.

I was diagnosed with
leukaemia
in 2010 and had a bone marrow transplant in 2011. Unfortunately that didn't work properly so I went onto a new drug to control it. This drug was really good at controlling the rare mutation I have, but came with a lot of cardio-vascular risks.

We eat what we are – let’s detoxify the word ‘chemical’
The only thing chemical free is a perfect vacuum. [i]"Food is a bunch of chemicals, nothing more, nothing less. When we eat, we eat chemicals. Some are simple, such as water or salt. Some are complex, such as the proteins in steak. But they’re all chemicals. There is no part of food that is not chemical

What is the rate for someone with ET to progress to myelofibrosis?
I have slight increase in platelets and mild splenomegaly. My hematologist gave me 15% rate for progression to ET. Does anyone else has a percentage given from their hematologist?

Vitamin c and fibrosis
Can anyone offer incite as to whether vitamin c promotes fibrosis via collagen development from vitamin c? It has so many other benefits in haematological parameters that I want to continue it but cautious due to forming collagen fibrosis. Someone with a technical mind may be able to decipher this VERY
