Can Your Body Be Trained to Cure Its Own Cancer?
Another one about immunotherapy: For decades, cancer patients have been limited to a trio of treatment options. While surgery, chemotherapy and radiation have their effectiveness, they also have serious drawbacks that can compromise quality of life. Continued research in the area of immunotherapy is

Husband suffering from mantle cell lymphoma
I just wanted to find out what should one do to regain strength after the chemotherapy. My husband is completely drained out after his third chemotherapy. How should it be dealt with?

Imbruvica is on track to be a top seller for J&J and Pharmacyclics for years to come
Interesting insight into the revenues of the best selling cancer drugs in the USA. Many are familiar to us; Imbruvica of course and Revlimid (Lenalidomide), Rituxan (Rituximab/Mabthera) and perhaps Gleevec (Imatinib), the drug that did for CML what we are still looking for with CLL. http://www.fool.com

Giant cell arteritis diagnosed 160115
Happy New Year. I've suffered with RA most of my life, and had cutaneous vasculitis. Now progressed to Giant Cell Arteritis in my temple area. Fisrt signs were tender scalp when hair drying and brushing. That night a sudden headache like no other. Nearest equivalent pain was a sudden bone fracture. Immediate

New approach could lead cancer cells down path of destruction
Cancer research has discovered that when double-strand break DNA damage occurs, in which both strands of the DNA double helix are severed, the cell can either attempt to repair the damage, which has a poor chance of success and may create a cancerous cell (or a more aggressive clone of an existing cancerous

Positive parietal cell antibody
After eventually seeing a neurologist with regard to my tingling limbs, I have today received a copy of a letter he sent to my GP. He says that the MRI scan was normal, so pleased about that. However, he then says, quote: "I note she as a positive parietal cell antibody and that some provisional blood

Narrowed esophagus
My Rheumy has asked me if I have difficulty swallowing. So I wonder if this is a symptom of GCA. I recently had a colonoscopy and endoscopy with a stretching of the esophagus. The gastro doctor informed me that my esophagus was very narrowed and wondered if it had been bothering me. He wondered if it

Blood counts very poor, soon to start BR, and unsure whether to have jabs? (See later post)
Hi everyone, Thanks for all your responses to my post 3 weeks ago. The blood test results on 10th December were confusing to say the least - WBC had increased from 81.6 to 123.5 since the previous tests at the end of November, while neutrophils, HB and platelets were all improved. My consultant was

Bone marrow Abnormalities and APS
Hi Just wondering if there is a link between bone marrow abnormalities and APS? I had a bone marrow biopsy at my local hospital and it has shown abnormalities in mast cells, chromasomes . . . I have been referred to Kings for another biopsy for specialised testing. Does anyone else have bone marrow abnormalities

Progress
I joined the PAS and this forum at the beginning of Sept this year having been diagnosed with PA in May 2013. I hadn't received any loading doses and was put immediately onto 3 monthly injections. My readings on each subsequent visit to the Doc were around the 200 mark. Thanks to the forum I realised

Global burden of cancer attributable to high body-mass index
High body-mass index (BMI; defined as 25 kg/m2 or greater) is associated with increased risk of cancer.
