Nobody Wants Cancer. But a ‘Big C’ Label Has Surprising Upsides.
« “The cancer designation did open up significant new funding opportunities, for example from the National Cancer Institute,” said Barbara Van Husen, board chair of the MPN Research Foundation. “It has definitely accelerated research.” There are more than 200 clinical trials underway for various MPNs

Road Rage!
A piece of road walks into a bar and declares to all its occupants: "I'm the hardest bit of bitumen in the whole of this town!" The piano player stops and the bar goes deadly silent. After a brief pause, all eyes drop, the pianist returns to playing and the piece of road pulls up a bar stool

Update after BMB
It's been awhile since my first BMB, but have been recovering & processing the results. I had a hard time with sedation & took me some time to reset myself from that ordeal (getting sick, having two veins blow out with blood draws & iv). I lost weight & only weighed at 104 lbs that day! I was diagnosed

Questions about stents and support
Update and questions I haven't posted on here for a while for many reasons (including the whole COVID thing) but as I'm still trying to get my head round stuff and had questions, I'm hoping there are some of you out there who can offer me some ideas/support. I'm currently seen at the Brompton, where

Missing protein helps small cell lung cancer evade immune defences.
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cells are missing a surface protein that triggers an immune response, allowing them to hide from one of the body’s key cancer defenses, a new study led by UT Southwestern researchers suggests. The findings, reported online today in Cancer Research, a journal of the American

New combination of immunotherapies shows great promise for treating lung cancer.
McMaster researchers have established in lab settings that a novel combination of two forms of immunotherapy can be highly effective for treating lung cancer, which causes more deaths than any other form of cancer. The new treatment, yet to be tested on patients, uses one form of therapy to kill a significant

Had 2 thirds of my right lung removed in June (followed by Chemo & Radiotherapy). Latest scan shows that the cancer is back along the "Cut" where the left the top part of my lung. Can't believe its back after only 6 months (and with all the chemo & Radiotherapy). They are saying its inoperable and

How Can I Cure Leg Wasting ?
Pls , I Am 29 years old now and a Sickle Cell Patient too. When I was 19 years, my hip joint started to pain me and I attended to the hospital, they told me the hip is reducing so I have to wear crutches to walk and I did that for a year. However when I used the crutches for a year the pain reduced

Has anyone received the Covid-19 Vaccine while taking Immunotherapy?
Fellow cancer patients, I have been very concerned about how my immunotherapy (Opdivo/nivolumab) might affect my body’s response to the Covid-19 vaccine. During my past year on this treatment, my immune system has “overresponded” on several occasions as can be a side-effect of the treatment. Although

Tocilizumab extension
Hi I wrote a couple of weeks ago asking if anyone had been told that their tocilizumab was being extended. I’ve heard nothing from rheumatology or G.P but today I’ve had a txt from the company that deliver the injections to say they are delivering early March. Not sure if it’s the normal 8 weeks supply

Anybody suffer with intercostal myalgia/weakness?
I only ask because I have a severe breathing issue that is yet to be satisfactorily diagnosed. I've been told I just have a 'breathing dysfunction' but that suggests over (or under) breathing. Which I'm clearly not. But it's gradually getting worse and has been for almost 3 years. I also suffer with
