CLL / P17 with Mutation
My sister in law who is 60 yrs. old has been diagnosed with CLL / P17 deletion with mutation. She has BWC of 213,000 and swollen lymph nodes. She was put on Hydrea that brought it down to 177,000 then they added Imbruvica. Hopefully this will bring it down until she can have a complete stem cell transplant

Tagrisso/Osimertinib side-effects?? Nails lifting???
Hi all - I have been fortunate to have been given Iressa/Gefitinib as first line treatment for stage 4 lung cancer. I had been on that almost 3 years when the cancer started to grow again. Found to have T790M mutation and put on Tagrisso three months ago - good shrinkage of all tumours from latest scan

CBD oil and lung cancer
Hello, Considering using a high dose of pure CBD oil concentrate ( no THC as I cant do the high) to see if that will help me with getting my cancer into remission. I have heard great things about it, but it is expensive especially if you do the recommended 400 to 600 MG day they say is needed for stage

Stage 3b

The pathology report stated that not all the cancer was removed some still left on the pulmonary artery where she cut it off going into the heart. The surgeon couldn't take anymore so now I will be doing radiation

Some Social Security Disability Tips for Patients with Lung Cancer
If you are diagnosed with lung cancer and you are still working, one of your first questions will be “Are my working days over?” Everyone with advanced disease must face this, and even people with early stage disease can find themselves contending with permanent debilitating side effects from treatment

PMR - Would appreciate feedback.
Hi All, If we wait for science to find a cause and cure for PMR I think we will be waiting a long time! I believe the answer will come from people like you and me, the ones with a vested interested and a motivation to make a break-through for the benefit of all. I should add I have achieved this on

Blood biopsy
My doctor ordered a blood biopsy and PET scan as last CT scan showed a slight change. The blood biopsy came back with the Exon 19 deletion mutation. Has anyone else had experience with this?

The drugs
For some time my COPD had been getting much worse. I had sudden episodes where I was totally helpless and was gasping desperately for a breath of air. This could happen up to 5 or 6 times a day. Eventually, after an emergency call for an ambulance, I was admitted to hospital and spent a week there during

Follow-on post, lung cancer
Further to my first post (4 minutes ago!) I just realized a couple of things I meant to ask - but i can't figure out if I can edit the previous post. The CT scan indicates it is confined to the right lung, but how accurate are they? I'm scared it might actually have spread, though the report said the

My Darling Wife after Years Suffering from Lupus was Diagnosed with Limited Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer last November, two tumors 3 cm each, one in her Left Lung and One in her chest. A devastating blow to us all as she has been a Non Smoker for 27 Years. Our Local Hospital were brilliant in picking

Stem cell transplant for AML 8 yrs on

Trying to overlook negativity
Hi there, This is mainly a personal venting session, but it sort of left an uneasy feeling for me. Usually I can overlook negativity, or at least try to be cognizant that every situation, experience, and diagnoses is different. However, I had been chatting on and off recently with a pretty optimistic
