He has had a packed cell transfusion and two
platelet
transfusions
, whilst awaiting a PET scan for confirmation that the disease has not changed (richters). All this developed within a span of 2 months which the doctors did not expect and hence the current drop in Hb and platelets.

This knocked for six and she has been in hospital with low white blood cells, low haemoglobin and has no immune system. I appreciate these are common side

Platelets dropped after obinituzumab and won't rise even after transfusion 🚨
Dear all, First of all, thank you very much for all the help and care I have always found on HealthUnlocked. I had my first infusion of obinituzumab and in my case, mainly due to my nephrotic syndrome kidney problem, I had a few problems. High fevers, which are common Attacks of hiccups that last

Low Platelet Count - 114,000
Note that I have done a search on this website for such information but have not come across any information on specific medications, other than possible
platelet
transfusions
(for patients with levels below 20,000).

Robust PSA Drops With Radionuclide Therapy in CRPCa— All but one patient had a PSA decline after a fractionated dose of 225Ac-J591
In a phase II trial, a single dose of 177Lu-J591 achieved better results with a higher dose, including almost a doubling of median survival, but more than half of patients developed grade 4 thrombocytopenia, and 40% received

After doing another blood test on Friday, my hemoglobin is already down to 7.9 and the
Platelet
count is down to 26k. I could end up having
transfusions
every week or two at the rate I'm going. Anyone else having these issues?

Iron results - what would you do?
In the seemingly endless quest to feel properly well I had a full iron panel done. The last one I had done was 2 years ago, 6 months after an iron transfusion. I've got a bit of a mixed bag here so I'd be grateful for some thoughts. It's getting worse, generally, I'm just not sure if now is the right

Sadly Not Just Thyroid Patients
I've been following the infected blood scandal with interest, basically thousands of patients in the 70's, 80's and early 90's were given blood transfusions/ products that were cheaply imported, often from USA, and not screened for Hep C. This was to save the NHS money. Unfortunately many people became

Two for Chemotherapy, Both My Wife and I, Her with TNBC and Myself now with PCA Liver Mets
Today is Two for Chemotherapy My wife discovered a lump in her breast in November2023, called for mammogram and they, Montefiore NY, made her wait to January 16th, of course she didn’t know TNBC grows at approximately 1% a day. So, January 16th, they did Mammogram, MRI, Ultrasound and Biopsy.

possible hep c infection
I wonder if anyone can advise me please. My wonderful 76 year old mum was given a blood transfusion after the birth of me 48 years ago. Over the years her blood test has shown slightly elevated bilirubin but no further action was taken, I think we hoped it would be Gilbert’s syndrome. I know she knows

A bit confused
I notice quite often that posts here include results of acronyms such as ALT, LPT etc and things like Bilrubin. Are they important and how do you get hold of these please as we have never heard of them before coming on here? My husband was diagnosed 4 years ago with Cirrhosis and has been in and out

Gabapentin and liver resection
The help I have been given from this forum has been invaluable, I don't know where I would be without it. I have weaned myself off of Pramipexole and am now using Gabapentin, I don't think I have suffered anything like some of the other members. My question is, I need to up the dose, I am taking 1 x

Anyone turn down a stem cell transplant?
I have post ET MF. Currently I'm on Rux and getting monthly cycles of 5 aza. I don't need transfusions. Day to day I feel pretty good and can do most of what I want. The SCT was recommended because of the risk of progression to AML. I'm finding the decision making to get the SCT very difficult. My
