Nutraceuticals are often big on promise but fail to deliver
Nial Wheate, Senior Lecturer in Pharmaceutical Chemistry at University of Sydney, Australia writes an interesting and informative article on what's been observed in the study of nutraceuticals (foods that provide health or medical benefits), arguing that their promise doesn’t always hold up: http://

Richters Biopsy Update
Hi everyone, just thought I would post an update on my axillary node biopsy. The results showed that there was no evidence of RT in my lymph node. This good news was quickly followed by a warning that just because it didnt show up in the axillary node it didnt mean that that the richters hadnt returned

TNBC and recurrence
I am 47 and have undergone MRM for TNBC grade 3 stage 2A node negative a year back. I had 4 Epirubicin + 4 Paclitaxel chemo cycles. A PET scan at the time of surgery had not revealed any metastases. With TNBC, the sceptre of recurrence always looms large. A few studies about aspirin, taurine and turmeric

Nanotech Methods May Be the Future of Cancer Treatment
At Rice University they are blowing up cancer cells with nanoparticle "bombs." Like integrative immunotherapy, the new cancer-fighting technique kills cancer cells without harming surrounding healthy cells. Experimental trials have been so successful in destroying aggressive and resistant cancer cells

ever since I knew I had sickle cell, I've been taking much of folic acid. How does the folic acid help sustain me?

Tiredness
Please can you good folk tell me whether extreme tiredness is linked to reduction of preds. It has taken a while but I am now down to 12.5 with no problems with pain. Fluid retention is not good (maybe due somewhat to the heat) and my hot flushes are worse. But my main concern is that I keep falling

Help, FCR OR BR?
My oncologist has telephoned me today giving me an option of either FCR or BR. As I am 11q del I thought I had only one option! She told me that the FLAIR trial will be starting in 6-8 weeks time but as my WBC is at 387 and my Hg is 95 she would like me to start treatment now. I am 52 years old now and

Rapid Generation of Virus-Specific T Cells Helps Fight Off Infection in Immunocompromised Patients
The lengthy, complex, and costly process required to produce target specific T-Cells to fight cancers and viruses is a huge barrier that needs to be overcome if this technique is ever going to be more than a laboratory curiosity that benefits only a select few patients. Despite this, researchers continue

Neurologist saying B12 is a 'red herring' - what should I do? :/

Bone marrow transplant with MF
I have been recently diagnosed with MF and am in the initial phase (being treated with PEGASYS). In your recent MF leaflet the article appears to indicated that a bone marrow transplant is a 'last resort' ('not commonly recommended'.... advanced disease).

GvHD of the lungs
Hi all I am new to this site. I am not posting about myself but about my 32 year old brother. 9 years ago he had a stem cell transplant to treat leukaemia (I was his donor), which has been in remission ever since. We have been lucky enough to have 9 good years during which time he has worked full time
