Neutropenia whilst on Tocilizumab
Hi. Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience. Diagnosed with PMR and GCA Nov. 2021. For last 2 months I have been on weekly Tocilizumab injections; this followed a further flare up in December 2023 when the entire aorta was inflamed (I have never had cranial symptoms). I was certainly shocked

Clinical trial with monoclonal antibodies?
I've been asked to participate in a clinical trial in which I get an infusion of monoclonal antibodies. The team is wanting to know if this would help those with blood cancers have higher resistance to Covid. Any thoughts? I will discuss with my doctor but wanted more feedback.

genetic test results
Trisomy 12 is recurrently seen in multiple lymphoid neoplasms including CLL,
mantle
cell
lymphoma
, and follicular lymphoma. In the setting of CLL it is associated with an intermediate prognosis. The signal pattern observed for the D13S319/D13S25 probe showed a 13q deletion in 50% of nuclei.

Question on PMR and Temporal Arteritis
Does anyone know: would an MRI show Temporal Arteritis or would a person need a biopsy to determine if Temporal Arteritis was present? Asking for a person newly diagnosed with PMR and in the ER dept was told she had Temporal Arteritis. Yesterday she went to the rheumatologist and was told she definitely

I’ve been wanting to update my Stem Cell Transplant journey with good news and today I was going to post that, instead I’ve been told that a lot of my lymph nodes are enlarged again. It’s so disappointing to say the least, not what I was expecting as I feel quite well and most of the GVHD issues have

SCT journey update No.4
Hi all, just to give you an update on my journey towards my *Allogenic Stem cell Transplant. Last tests @ Addenbrookes yesterday, was a very early start as Lung function testing was @ 8.30am and it’s about 2 hour journey. Wife and I were up about 3-4am ( to be fair, couldn’t sleep anyway ) The drive

Getting my forth chemo treatment today. This has been much easier than the O CHOP. It has been smooth sailing especially with the surgically implanted port.( I forgot to mention). I am starting to notice some fatigue and energy slow down which is quite natural. One more chemo treatment tomorrow then

Myelofibrosis- GVHD graft, versus, host, disease.
Hi, thanks for accepting me onto your site. My name is Gary, I am 64 years old and was diagnosed with Myelofibrosis in July, 2024. It all started when I began to feel lethargic and very tired, I had no inspiration to do anything. I was a taxi driver and was only managing to work one or two days a week

STEM CELL TRANSPLANT FINALLY SCHEDULED (WE HOPE)
