Trying to figure out if

Rising haematocrit levels
Hi I haven't been in touch for a while. I am jack 2 positive ET diagnosed 7 years ago. I take 500 hydrea daily and plavix. My haematocrit level has been rising and is now at .49. Does anyone know if there are any diet changes I could make to reduce this a bit? I read something about spinach and broccoli

What to buy OH for Christmas
As Christmas is looming again I thought I'd tell you how to bring back that childhood feeling of the excitement at being faced with a pile of presents not knowing what you were about to unwrap. I don't know about anyone else but now that gifts are often requests rather than surprises Christmas has kind

An immunotherapy now approved for first-line treatment
Late yesterday, the FDA approved Keytruda (an immunotherapy) as a first-line treatment for patients with lung cancer whose tumors express high levels of PD-L1. This means that Keytruda could be used as the first treatment after diagnosis (instead of chemotherapy) in some patients.

I had a full right lung lobectomy in 2007
I was DX with stage 3a NSCLC in October 2007. In November I had my right lu g removed via VATS surgery at NYU in New York. I was fully capable of doing everything I did before and am now heading into year 10 of being cancer free. If you have a great thoracic surgeon you should be fine. I will say that

Lung cancer cough
Hi, Does anyone have any tips for controlling the lung cancer cough? I find it so awful that when I feel up to seeing my friends the evening is ruined by my hacking cough. I have tried many cough linctus and prescribed oramorph linctus and codeine linctus but all with not great results. Thanks, Lorna

Lunation - a soy peptide - does anybody know of this?
Hi, As I stated in my “New Here” email I was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer a few months ago. I am currently taking Iressa. A friend has recommended taking “lunasin. a soy peptide”.

Symptoms and the trait
Hi everyone. We're seeing a lot of posts about symptoms and sickle cell trait at the moment, which is food for thought, and we might in future produce information resources about this, because there isn't a lot out there.

NCT02478125 - for prostate cancer metatstses
This was at Johns Hopkins just last week. I went down for a screening interview, which was wonderful, and the whole experience was fantastic. Unfortunately, I was too healthy for the trial, so I have to at least wait. I characterize it as an "off label" use of a pretty standard procedure: essentially
