Venetoclax and calquence combo for Cll
Anyone have experience with V and Calquence together? My husband has been on calquence 4 months but Haemotolgist states his bone marrow still 80 to 90% full of cancerous lymphocytes. Doc wants V and R but husband has had no issues with Calquence and would prefer to stay on it along with Venetoclax. Lymphocytes

Had my third kidney transplant
Hello everyone:) Happy Holidays! 2 weeks ago I received the phone call that they had a kidney for me ..this was very unexpected because I had been told throughout the whole pre transplant process that I would have a living donor through the paired exchange program. My husband would donate to someone

Finally some "good" news....post LU 177
And My hemoglobin has gotten much better....BUT...to temper my happiness...my Platelets have dropped so low (can't remember what she said) that I am scheduled for typing in a couple of hours and

13 year Battle with Stage 4 PC
This is a long post - patience is advised. My warrior husband passed away on Nov 19 after a 13 year battle with Prostate Cancer. He was originally diagnosed in 2008 with a Gleason of 3+4 and PSA of 35 at age 59. He had a radical prostatectomy followed by 34 radiation treatments. His PSA remained undetectable

Chemo induced anemia
My father has had 2 cycles of docetaxel chemo and his Hb is 8.2 g/dl while RBC is 2.96 mcL. Due to this, the next chemo has been postponed by a week The MO says the only way anemia can be dealt is blood transfusion if Hb goes below 8 g/dl. Should we go ahead with next cycle or wait till Hb level gets

1yr 3 months Sober but still Scared
I’m a 38 year older female that has always been thin and in shape. I started heavily drinking around the age of 24. It started off slowly. Bartending and waitressing was my occupation of choice back then. Mostly because you were almost encouraged to drink while working at the places I worked. I took
