ibrutinib, opposite effect.
Hi there everyone, Hope everyone is doing well. Happy New Year! I am writing this post because my dad just started ibrutinib on December 19 2018 and has went for two weekly blood tests, and each time his white blood count levels have gone down ( we were told it would skyrocket.) His WBC was at 406 in

Want to help my dad
My dad has had essential thrombocythemia jak 2 positive for a year. He used to work and be fairly active, but this seems to be getting the better of him and he's always fatigued and it's getting him down. How can I help him start finding some enjoyment out of life again? Is there a fitness, diet or hobby

Does anyone know whether you can take vitamin B12 whilst taking hydroxycarbamide?
I have read that vitamin B12 can help anaemia and some cancers, I've been taking hydroxycarbamide for nearly a year, is it safe to take vitamin B12?

Myelofibrosis
My ‘crossover’ MPN has transformed to Myelofibrosis ( confirmed by BMB) and my new consultant has decided that the only medication is Ruxolitinib. Can anyone reassure me as to its efficacy, and if they have suffered side effects..... it all sounds quite toxic. My HB has also plunged to 60, and

VIT B12 deficiency
Hi - just wondered if anyone else had this and if it's linked to HCL? I had treatment 5 years ago with Cladribine. I'm seeing GP on Wednesday following a blood test which said I was low in VIt B12 so just curious and want to go informed! Thank you

Cll and being breathless.
About 4 years ago I was diagnosed with cll. I've noticed over a few years I'm getting breathless more often and it's lead to panic attacks. A doctor Darren Schmidt on YouTube said the condition could be due to a lack of vitamin B . I've just started taking vitamin B and the difference is incredible.

Cancer update
Sorry not on for a while. I had to rush my husband into hospital yesterday. We were told that his cancer has spread all over his abdominal organs. The damage is too much . He is starting chemotherapy tomorrow but this is just as a palliative measure. Once again thank you everyone for your support

For The First Time In My Life I Am Feeling Totally Broken!
I try to think of my friend who has spent the last year fighting

I'm new to Essential Thrombocythemia
Is there anyone out there to talk about ET experience, doubts and futures? I was diagnosed this summer but I've probably had it at least 2 years since bleeding symptoms first attracted attention. I'm a CALR mutation and taking hydroxycarbamide/hydroxyurea. I find researching it really interesting and
