Scleroderma and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma
My mum was diagnosed with scleroderma 18 months ago - it's confined to her (very tight) skin and her symptoms are very cold hands and feet and lack of energy/can't walk far. Just before Christmas she was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma in her neck for which she's nearly completed chemotherapy treatment

Trisomy 12
Hi everyone. I saw my consultant on Thursday with the results of my recent blood test and PET scan. The PET scan only showed the enlarged lymph nodes that I knew about in my neck. None in my chest or abdomen which was good news. He told me I have the chromosome abnormality trisomy 12. He said it's not

Anyone been on Triptorelin during their treatment?

In Jan 2015 I went to the hospital with a platelet count of 1,000. The doctor told me I had ITP and treated me for 10 months with steroids, IVIG, and Nplate shots.
