Starting Treatment
I've been on W & W for 6 years, mutated IGVH, All the good genetic marker. My numbers are all quite good, no symtoms, feeling normal for 65, very fit, and I would remain in W & W except for the fact that my Neurtrophil count is dangerously low, .8 as of yesterday, up from .5 2 weeks ago. My Onc/Hem

Painful toes
Hi, I have recently been diagnosed with cml, not seen a specialist yet though it’s been 6 weeks since diagnosis via my hiv specialist who has been keeping a very close eye on my blood tests and had a Leukemia test done middle of August (October now). I have so many questions that I know can’t be answered

MD Anderson/Mayo or Peter MacCallum for treatment?
Hi all, My husband is just diagnosed with CLL with WBC at 49, Platelet at 77, enlarged spleen 20 cm and enlarged liver 17 cm. 70% lymphocytes in bone marrow. The FISH test is not available yet until next week so the treatment plan is also not available. But seem that he’s on Stage IV under RAI classification

What is ERIC and Why Should We Care?
Dr. Stamatopolous is one of its directors and in these short videos he talks about ERIC in general and its first big meeting. He then discusses his research on the “cognitive dissonance” we all know so well when we are diagnosed with an incurable cancer and then told we need no treatment. Next he explains

CURCUMIN? – IS IT THE NEXT BEST THING...?
Post by MPN-MATE Admin » Wed Sep 25, 2019 10:29 am Hey all my MPN colleagues & friends... Thought that you might all enjoy a quick scan of this article on Curcumin, that seems to suggest that its powers might be just what the Pharmacist decided not to order... because it is possible much less expensive
