The oncologist wants to do a PET and CT scan the same day. Is it necessary to do both?
The oncologist wants to do a CT and PET scan on the same day this month. My husband is now stage IV NSCLC and had both these tests done in February. They have not started any treatment yet for him . He only saw the oncologist two weeks ago. He also ended up with congested heart failure late last year

Parietal Cell Antibody test refused by GP
I posted a few weeks back about my Dad who I suspect has b12 absorption problems either as a result of low stomach acid or PA. He tested negative for IF antibodies so zi asked a GP at his surgery if they would test for Parietal Cell antibodies. She didn't seem to know what I was talking about?! Said

Update and meeting the team.
I’ve had lost of tests done over the past few months. I met up the the transplant team. I’m looking at 5-10 years for a bone marrow transplant, they said it could be earlier, as I’m still working and I’m well enough they don’t want to do it to early. I will need to take year off work, (when the time

Stem Cell Transplant-update
Well, I have been below the radar lately but it’s time to update you all. I was diagnosed moth PMF in April 2020 and declined quite quickly. I have CALR with ASXL1 mutation. I went through rapidly increasing dose of Peg INF but moved over to Ruxolitinib when my platelet count dropped. The rux helped

MF high risk Mutations
This has been covered in some form before. But I came across this report that summarizes misc info from Cornell in a nice clean manner. See link, it's easy reading. A specific takeaway is with the high risk (HMR) mutations in yellow here they lean toward SCT (stem cell transplant) if possible rather

Advice
I have just been diagnosed with lung cancer, I had no symptoms and haven’t been unwell. I went to the Gp after developing a wheeze as I thought I had asthma. I am due to start immunotherapy the middle of June. I am due to go on holiday the middle of next week for 7 days and would like advice on travel

Another Brain Met
I had two brain mets from my lung cancer and radiotherapy got rid of them. I have just had another scan to check progress and it seems another small one has popped up on the opposite side, I'm devastated, it's determined to get me. I'm having a CT scan of thorax abdomen and pelvis. Consultant says if

Update on “20 years old and Scared”
Hey guys, roughly 11 months ago I posted in this group worried to death about my unspecified polycythemia diagnosis. You guys provided me with so much support during that time, even though I was a bit shy to respond to comments after a couple of days. Well, I was tested for the JAK2 gene which came back

Has anyone been involved in a clinical trial with osmertinib? It’s an option for my dad or have chemo/radiotherapy concurrently.
My dad has stage 3b lung cancer with PDL1 positive and edfr, a rare mutation. He’s a non smoker and we need to choose between chemo/ radio then surgery or a clinical trial (computer randomly assigns either osmertinib tablets only or osimertinib + chemo or osimertinib + placebo) and then surgery to remove

MIN-102 update: summer 2022
Hi everyone, I am persisting with the min-102 trial and yesterday had my 10th visit. Nothing particularly different about the visit: the usual 6 minute walking and balance trials, the annual MRI scan and echocardiogram and the questionnaires and meeting with a specialist. What I did learn is that Minoryx

CBD OIL
Just read an article about an 80 year old lady who had stage 4 lung cancer and took liquid CBD oil daily, and refused all treatment. The tumour disappeared. Is this made up, surely the experts would have found that CBD is a cure. It's like diet, there's no diet that can cure cancer.

Lung transplant second opinion update.
Saw the very nice team at the Royal Papworth following the Harefields decision to delist me. Where do i begin? First of all what a place, futuristic, buzzing with energy and you just knew you were in a different league. They haven’t said yes but more importantly not a no either. Bottom line is they

What happens when you end tocilizumab
I have GCA and PMR , plus a few other conditions.. I am on Prednisolone, Azothioprine and tocilizumab . I am getting towards the end of the tocilizumab injections as the aim is to get to 7 mg Pred and I am about to reduce to 9 mgs. The tocilizumab has done wonders with unreadably low CRP and ESR of 3
