So scared and new to this board
I’m scared. Petechiae (tiny) all over stomach and legs. Slight elevated HCT (44.7) and RBC are high normal. Been referred to hematology and oncology for further workup in two weeks! My stomach also feels swollen and tender. Does it sound like I have cancer? I’m so scared

Has anyone been on the combination therapy of Venetoclax, Ibrutinib and Obinutuzumab?
I was wondering if I could hear from someone who has had the combination of Venetoclax, Ibrutinib and Obinutuzumab (Gazyva). My CLL is completely resistant to Chemo and actually continued to spread while I was on FCR. Basically I have a rare c-myc mutation for CLL that has a poor prognosis. I have

what does p53 abnormal 50 percent mean
does it mean 50 percent missing? i have p17 deleted but p53 says abnormal 50 percent. does that mean mutated or missing I had fish,flow, and immunohistochemical. the above was under FISH. And as i've said before they decided on b-pll by process of elimination of others. my b-pll diagnosis was not

Cll and my mutation
I switched doctors after 8 years of recurring cll....imbruvica zydelig rhituxin with all plus others...just wasn’t working (for me). My new doctor was surprised that the old never did a bone marrow test (it doesn’t hurt like the old days). Well that and a genetic test revealed I had tp53 mutated gene

New to this site. Introduction
I was diagnosed with CLL 6 years ago. I am watching and waiting. I just found this forum last week and started really looking at things today. I was diagnosed when I was 36 I am now 42. Needles to say that I have been trying to live life right. Eating and exercising while watching my WBC steadily increase

Ibrutanib and sleep issues
Day 5 on ibrutanib. Really having issues with sleeping. I wake after two hours and have restless leg type symptoms and cannot get back to sleep. Have tried melatonin but hadn't really helped. I am a Waldenstrom patient with associated amyloidosis but there are slot of commonalities with CLL.

reduced intensity transplant
If your over 50 and need a stem cell transplant it most likely will be low intensity. It also goes by mini-transplant or RIC transplant. It is NOT a standard stem cell transplant. all your cells are not replaced. you keep most of your own blood cells and have donor cells added to fight your cancer cells

Worried about financial ruin...
New here - freshly diagnosed, glad to find this resource. My only real concern (more like terror, actually) is financial. I'll get to that in a moment... So, I've been self-watching my condition for a while now. In the fall of 2017 I suddenly developed a WBC of 13.5 and abs lymphocytes of 8250 at

Anyone with CLL, MDS/MPN ?
My Oncologist keeps telling me about this very rare combo of my blood cancers I have! I not only have CLL but also MDS/MPN. The article of my rare blood cancers will be in the AJOM in June or July; I should receive an abstract on this in June. It has something to do with my mutated gene “beta” so

Vitamin D and immune cells stimulate bone marrow disease (Myelofibrosis)
Hello everyone, I've just read this interesting finding: https://medicalxpress.com/news/2019-02-vitamin-d-immune-cells-bone.html?utm_source=nwletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=daily-nwletter In short, myelofibrosis is stimulated by excessive signaling from vitamin D and immune cells known as macrophages

Red cell mass test
Hello. Thank goodness its Friday! Does anyone know if a red cell mass test is the same as the MCV result you get on a normal FBC? Somebody told me it was but for some reason I thought this was its own separate test?

Feeling numb
Just received the 2nd set of blood tests from an un-connected complaint, for the cell markers conclusion to reveal I have CLL. Currently I feel as well as a 59 year old could feel, I am trying to come to terms with what I have been told, my GP has since reffered me to the the local Hematology department

ET and Fatigue
I was diagnosed about six years ago with Essential Thrombocythaemia (ET) and was pretty much patted on the head, handed aspirin and told to come back every 6 months. In the last few months I have been referred to another specialist and hoping that with two new genetic tests and a bone marrow biopsy there

where can I buy Jakavi from?
Hi there. I am not sure if anyone will read this but I will still give it a try. My aunt has been diagnosed with secondary myelofibrosis and she has been taking Jakavi for the past almost 3 years.

High AST and alt levels
Hello, all, I just received a copy of my blood chemistry I had last week and it said my AST and AL T levels are high. Of course, I didn’t know what that was so I googled it and it said I could have liver damage. Does anyone know if this is a side effect of medication like hydroxy or jakafi? I am seeing

Ighv mutated
I found out last week that I am IGHV mutated. (Apparently that’s a good thing) It means I respond really well to the chemo. I was also told by my specialist that next month she wants another CT scan & another bone marrow biopsy. She said if they come back with good results then we might stop a three
