Appointment with Radiologist
Attended hospital today for first appointment with radiologist who advised that I could have a “one off “ dose of radiology to hopefully shrink the tumour on my right lung to prevent it spreading into the spinal cord (it has attached itself to my spine already). Have to attend the hospital tomorrow

Second Opinion CLL
Just a side note to all my Unlocked friends. My first Oncologist tested me (bone Marrow sample and blood test) and told me I had stage 2 lymphoma. This was a fairly well respected doctor and I had no reason to doubt her. My wife kept pestering me to get a second opinion which I finally gave into and

I'm New Here!
I went to see an Oncologist in the Winter of 2017 who confirmed I have, "Chronic
Lymphocytic
Leukemia
" CANCER. Ugh. I told my son's then and they accompanied me to an appointment, (That was supportive for me). The Oncologist stated, "You have the good Cancer, slow moving.".

Low WBC
I have a granddaughter who has Down Syndrome. Her WBC is low, 3, and ANC is 1.1. I know both are low and trending slightly down but I am unsure of the meaning. We are aware that children like her have a tendency toward leukemia. I thought leukemia meant a high WBC. Hg and platelets are good. Thoughts

Thoughts on PV/ET
There are a lot of new posters here (I’ve been here 3 months and feel like an old hand!) who are understandably nervous and worried. The dreaded cancer word and for many of us, our first real brush with our own mortality. However, there are two really important factors we need to focus on. PV and especially

Food vs supplements
My oncologist agrees with Green tea and turmeric being beneficial for CLL but she prefers using turmeric powder in food and drinking green tea as opposed to supplements that may not have contents regulated and also contain questionable fillers etc. I had purchased 1 bottle of DECAFFEINATED green tea

Recent blood tests
Hello everyone I went to see my haemo this morning to get results of latest raft of blood tests. My platelets have risen to 688, I'm Jak2 negative (is that good or bad?) and I'm positive for something called CALR, which he says can predispose someone to develop AML or myelofibrosis. H3e explained it

Tamiflu - WORKING!!!!! :) :)
I have been using nplate for ITP for 2 years, giving myself weekly injections. I was sick with the flu last week. This made my numbers drop even with my weekly injection of nplate to 36,000. I took Tamiflu for 5 days to kick the flu and exactly a week later my count went from 36,000 to 280,000. I

HCL and feeling unwell
Hi - I had chemo for HCL just over 5 years ago but this winter have been feeling run down again. I'm menopausal too which doesn't help with night sweats! I've been to the GP several times and they have done the usual bloods and they are all ok. But I still feel run down! No bruising though but have had

Ruxolitinib and high platelets
I have PV and been taking Hydroxycarbamide for a year and had many side effects and my blood counts are not being controlled. I came off Hydroxy 3 weeks ago and started on Ruxolitinib since when my platelet counts have kept going up - now 680. I wondered if anyone else has had this experience and how

Vitamin question

Interesting tv programme
Hello BLF friends💕 The Real Peak Practice is on again. Series 2. Up to date with medical cuts, local hospital closures, caring problems, the elderly etc I see. Looks like a good GP practice. I like how they manage to keep people at home. What worries me is how everything is measured financially.. Anyway

Hello from Ali
Hello everyone I just came to know about this site few days ago. I was diagnosed with CLL in Feb 2017 at the age of 37. Had no visible symptoms, just the routine blood check led to this. My WBC was 23 at that time. My oncologist said that I am fine for the time being and I can eat anything I want and
