Pfizer Pill
I received this news via the New York Times which, if true, will be helpful as we learn to live with this wretched disease. A Covid pill developed by Pfizer cuts the risk of hospitalisation or death in vulnerable adults by 89 per cent, according to a clinical trial carried out by the US company. Incidentally

Side Effects of Bendamustine?
I am asking for a friend who has follicular lymphoma and has been W&W for nine years. They start Rituxan and Bendamustine next week. With all the treatment I have had, I have never had this one, so I am wondering if you could share what your experiences were. Thanks much.

INF+ ATO Study, "A knockout combination for MPN stem cells"
Some have likely seen this study. I looked into it some more today and realize it's a neat pre-clinical result. This is just FYI right now but it's an example of potential good things to come. (I just noticed Manouche posted on this last year, anyway maybe some new details here) "JAK2V617F myeloproliferative

Has anyone achieved a reduction in fatigue from PMR through the introduction of tocilizumab (Actemra) into their treatment regimen?
Lately it seems as though my fatigue and depression are getting worse. I've had PMR for about 3 years now and it seems as though I am going downhill in so far as exhaustion is concerned. I almost have no desire, and to some extent, no ability to get anything done. I have read that the IL6 pathway is

Getting there….🏃♀️
After dealing with cancer, radiotherapy , chemotherapy , a stem cell transplant & a total hip replacement less then 10mts ago - I have just completed week 6 & Run 2! The thought of catching COVID because of my health issues has kept me locked away for nearly 2yrs - getting back out there to run has helped

CLL Transform to Lymphoma?
My ophthalmologist specialist is pretty sure I have ocular lymphoma. I will have a biopsy on August 25th. Does anyone have background on CLL combining with lymphoma?

Tocilizumab & Covid vaccine
I seem to remember that I delayed my Toc jab when I had my Phizer jab. Is that correct? If so, by a day or a week? Getting booster today when I’d normally inject Toc.

Senolytic combo Dasatinib + Quercetin
Nalakrats has in two major posts shared fascinating insights on senescence and senolytics, drugs that selectively clear senescent cells. I am most grateful to him for this, which set me off on a journey the results of which I sum up in this post. Senescence has also recently been well reported on by

31 year old facing AML fight.
Evening everyone. In the last few days ive had to come to terms that i will be battling AML. But sadly there isnt much information out there regarding its effects on younger people. It seems to be all info regarding 65+ years old. No treatment has been started yet, still waiting on results coming back

Advice dealing with chronic GVHD in the eyes and skin while trying to withdraw steroids
Hello everyone! I had a stem cell transplant last year and I am dealing with very uncomfortable Graft Versus Host Disease in my eyes and skin. The one in the eyes is the worse! I need to have drops every 10mins. Punctal ducts were helpful for three weeks only. I am waiting for some stem cell eye drops

Tocilizumab and coming off prednisolone
Just looking for current advice as regards the usage of tocilizumab as an aid to getting down and off prednisolone. I met a helpful person on this site and he had been on prednisolone for many years - more than my 12 years. He told me his endocrinologist had put him on tocilizumab and he had managed

Clinical trial for waldenstrom
I started a clinical trial of two oral meds this week: ibrutinib and venetoclax. Dana farber is running the 50 person trial. They’re powerful, targeted meds to knock down the cancer. I was diagnosed last feb as I turned 70 and moved quickly from watch and wait to treatment based on blood tests not symptoms

Tocilizumab treatment?
A friend of mine recently suggested that I try the monoclonal antibody tocilizumab as a treatment for my PMR. My questions are as follows: Has tocilizumab brought anyone into remission and for how long? On balance, is treatment with tocilizumab preferable to the prednisone that I'm taking now? What is
