In extremely vulnerable group but don't understand why
On Monday I got a text, followed by a letter, informing me that I have been identified as someone at risk of severe illness and thereby extremely vulnerable if I were to catch coronavirus. Instructions are not to leave home, even for food and meds, and stay away from others indoors. There is a list of

End-Stage doesn’t mean it’s the end.
They sometimes refer to Stage lV as End-stage emphysema but don’t think it means you will die soon. I’ve been stage IV (FEV1 <30%) for 10 years now, following pulmonologist’s strict orders...stop smoking, exercise, and take meds. Yes, I go on waiting list in September for a lung transplant (single

Confused /scared about Covid 19
Hi there I’m guessing that a lot of people are in the same boat about Covid19. My husband recently underwent a stem cell transplant for ALL and is now taking immunosuppressant medication. I currently work part time in the retail sector and I’m really confused and anxious about what to do for the best

Potassium and RLS
I have severe RLS. It has mostly been under control for awhile after years of different meds. All of a sudden, for about 2 months now it’s like I don’t even take any medicine. It’s been a nightmare. And I haven’t been able to understand why? Last night out of desperation I was looking at all my meds,

Hospital again aggghhh
Went to see my Surgeon-Consultant last week, CT scan not good (attached). After my lung operation in October 2018, most recent CT scan shows a large nodule and a few scattered in the lung. I'm in on the 18th Feb, they will go into the lung and have a look, best outcome is biopsies then treatment, second

An Early Look at When CAR-T Therapy Fails Patients With CLL
Not exactly an optimistic report. Dr James Gerson, MD, - "Not a lot is known as to what happens in the patients for whom CAR-T therapy does not work,” “Anecdotally, we say that patients often progress rapidly and aren’t able to get further therapies, but it’s not something there’s a lot of data for.

Faulty immune system may lead to lung cancer.
An immune system that's not functioning normally may lead to lung cancer in patients who don't smoke, a new study suggests. "A strong immune system helps to keep inflammation under control and chronic inflammation is known to promote cancer," said co-author Rayjean Hung. "Our research suggests that
