EXTREME bone pain with Neupogen injections, advise welcome!
Has anyone experienced extreme pain with Neupogen GCSF injections? My husband has received 2 out of 4 injections and is in agonizing bone pain. His specialist recommended a hot bath, Claritin, and Tylenol. I also have a heating pad on his back. Just wondering how long this will last and how he is going

ALC is still going up
Well, today I had another CBC. My ALC continues to go up consistently at each 2 week check and I will be seeing my onco at the beginning of Feb. In addition to the rising alc, test shows a few other little changes that i don't fully understand -- my MCV is now reading high (99.50) and my MCHC is low

Looking for more wholistic answers to dealing with ITP
Hi, I am newly diagnosed since Aug. 2022 with ITP and have had two crashes with platelet levels in the single digits twice now. Last week they put me on a short dose of dexamethasone which helped and now I am getting Nplate injections weekly for a month. From everything I have read, I cannot find

Exercise is the fountain of youth
I always loved the natural high that exercise brings but I never really knew how totally therapeutic it is. I was always the Captain in Team Sports growing up & just generally active. Things slowed down during college & never got added to my ‘adult’ life of creating a career & family. Anyway, after

Lymphatic Drainage by Vibration Platforms
The attached article reports apoptosis of cancer cells by low frequency vibration (not CLL & experiment was in-vitro) Vibration platforms claim multiple fold increase in lymphatic circulation and drainage. Lymphatic drainage is good for CLL. Can there be a small chance that vibration platforms

Some good Clonoseq results
I just wanted to share that I received some positive news from Clonoseq blood test. This is a blood test for MRD. It did not detect any CLL. So, my doctor has scheduled a bone marrow biopsy to do further testing. If that too comes back negative, I will be able to go off treatment. I started my

CLL Staging
Hello. My husband, Simon, was diagnosed with CLL several years ago and has been closely monitored. On his last visit to his consultant he was told that he needs to start treatment. Either Rituximab or Venetoclax. My husband is always dismissive of his condition and does not want to discuss with me

First COVID Antibody Test
I just got the results back from my first COVID antibody test. It said that my antibody level is 150. Is this a decent level? It is difficult to find much information on this. I am trying to see if I can feel a little secure if we have family over for Christmas. I will probably wear a mask and
