Donating bone marrow to cure sickle cell anaemia
A bone marrow transplant is the only complete cure for treating sickle cell anaemia. This is a kind of treatment in which the patient’s bone marrow is changed to new healthy bone marrow. This is done either by collecting the patient’s own bone marrow or that of a donor. In the case of sickle cell disease

Hello - I'm a newby here
Hello, I'm new on here and have found some really interesting posts. The reason I'm here is because my partner has been listed for a liver transplant due to cirrhosis. He has ascites and requires regular drains every 8/9 days. Today he had 16.5 litres drained (quite normal for him) now he is getting

Dad in ICU fighting pneumonia and is slow to wake up from induced coma
Hi everyone. I’m wondering if anyone has any encouragement for our situation. My dad is 78 but has always been extremely healthy - a marathon runner until his back stopped him from running and now he’s been an avid swimmer for years and has had no real medical issues. He had a stem cell transplant

Seeking people with experience of Stem Cell Transplant for Richter's - I have a decision to make!
Hi All Have been reading lots of posts since my diagnosis of CLL 9 months ago - what a great community, which I have found really helpful. I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins DLBCL which is a Richter's transformation from previously undiagnosed CLL. I am a healthy 50 year old female, with no symptoms
