Cortisol results help
Hi all,Recently started levo for underactive thyroid, have been feeling not quite right for a long time, think it all kicked off when my husband was diagnosed with cancer in 2019 when our baby was only 6months old. Thankfully it was caught early and after surgery and chemo he was given the all clear.

I had my BMB yesterday and it all went well 👍🏻
I thought I’d share that the whole procedure went well. I had a twilight sedation. I felt no pain. They explained to me that I would feel the anesthetic needle sting and pain for about 30 seconds. I only felt the first insertion prick and nothing more. Also they said that the bone cannot be numbed

Many of us are aware of the risk of tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) when we commence treatment, particularly with venetoclax and that the purpose of the venetoclax ramp-up, is to reduce the risk of TLS occurring. TLS can also occur with other CLL treatments, especially when they are fast acting, rapidly killing

My ca-125 started out 536, then thru chemo dropped to 219, then 56. Had surgery only dropped to 50. Back on chemo dropped to 19, 3 weeks later and finishing up chemo, only dropped to 15? Has anyone else had a slow decline? I'm done with chemo and having a scan done Monday. I'm a little concerned
