Newly approved drug effective against lung cancer caused by genetic mutation
The new drug sotorasib reduces tumor size and shows promise in improving survival among patients with lung tumors caused by a specific DNA mutation, according to results of a global phase 2 clinical trial. The drug is designed to shut down the effects of the mutation, which is found in about 13% of patients

How do I safely live my life with CLL if my antibody test results are one of three scenarios?
I am a stage zero CLL patient of 5 years awaiting the results of my antibody test ordered by my oncologist due to the recent news that CLL patients are often not getting as many antibodies produced as hoped resulting from their CoVid vaccines. I had 2 doses Moderna (Feb and March). I have been very

Husband with CLL - struggling with no energy, motivation and depression. Help.
Hi all, New member seeking support here. My husband was diagnosed with CLL about 6 years ago when his WBC was at 24000. We chose naturopathic therapy (vit C infusions, colon hydrotherapy and hyperbaric oxygen treatments). After several months with no symptoms, he stopped treatments and continued his

Worried about mums blood test results.
My mum has had a high platelet count for around 8/9 years now. She was referred to a hematologist who thought she had essential thrombocythemia, her platelets were high, her red cells low and white within normal range! However she had a blood test done a week ago and her white cells were 100,000 , her

Hairy cell leukaemia - treatment update
Quick update one week after my 5 day subcutaneous chemo jabs ended. So far so good, I've managed a few one mile or so walks with my daughter, am sleeping well, eating well but have lost nearly a stone (13 lb) weight over the last 6 weeks, and get tired if I over-exert myself. Also having a lot of night

High Jak2 burden with Tet2 mutation
I was diagnosed with P-vera a few months ago. My bone marrow biopsy showed I have the Jak2 v617f mution at 88% allele burden, this sounds very high to me. I also have a Tet2 mutation at 25% allele burden. Anyone else have high burden like this. My Doctor has down played the 88% burden, but my reading

Antibodies
I decided to do my second antibody test sooner rather than later as I’m meeting up with family over half term. Apparently a result greater than 0.8 U/mL means that antibodies are detected. My result came back at 24 U/mL! That is despite a dose of 20 mg Ruxolitinib twice daily and advanced post ET MF.

Proximal onycholysis
Just wondering if anyone taking hydroxyurea or ruxolitinib has had any nail problems. Two of my fingernails (thumb and ring finger) started with bruises under the cuticles and then white areas around the base of the nail which have actually started to peel off. I went to a dermatologist this morning

No Antibodies after Vaccine
Just got my results back for Covid Antibodies after Vaccination. It was Negative with a reported level of less than 0.4(U/mL). I took two doses of Pfizer, 8 weeks apart. I've been on Ibrutinib for CLL for 7 months now, and the first vaccine dose was 3 months after starting treatment. Really peed off

NPlate and hair thinning
Hi from a very wet and windy Dartmoor. I’m on nPlate and have been for the past two months, platelets are stable at 123 which is good. Have had a few side effects, joint pain, headaches but am also noticing my hair is thinning, even my hairdresser said I had lost a noticeable amount. Has anyone else

No Antibodies shown after taking the Moderna Vaccine
I am new to CLL only a year on W&W. My Lymphs are #10.26 and % is 69.7. WBC is 14.73. I had the Moderna vaccine in Feb and March. Just had an antibody test and the result was negative - no antibodies. To say the least I am heartbroken and disappointed. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I should

Supporting you to make decisions around clinical trials - a free online webinar - Friday 18th June at 3pm
Clinical trials are an important part of the treatment of blood cancers, and for some people can offer access to new treatments that aren’t available routinely. Some people may be invited to participate in a clinical trial by their healthcare team, and some may like to raise the question of suitability

It’s official Study shows T cells are activated against Covid after vaccination
Just heard on the Irish Radio from Professor Luke O’Neill, a super immunologist in Trinity College Dublin, results of a study on Leukemia patients show T Cells show response to the vaccine. Sorry I can’t remember the name of the study he mentioned . Great news he thought. It’s nature.com and Eureka

Has anyone that’s prone to depression taken PEG INF / Pegasys?
I guess I’m clutching at straws here but I’m not keen and will probably decide to not start Ruxolitinib at this time, so that just leaves Peg. I will post an update as to what’s going on since my last haem apt which was a couple of days ago but as always the monthly appointments tend to upset me so

CLL: from molecular pathogenesis to novel therapeutic strategies
September 2020 An interesting paper "CLL is a well-defined lymphoid neoplasm with very heterogeneous biological and clinical behavior. The last decade has been remarkably fruitful in novel findings elucidating multiple aspects of the pathogenesis of the disease. These include mechanisms of genetic susceptibility
