After 18 weeks of chemo
Hi all - last week I completed 18 consecutive weeks of Taxol (and carbo every 3rd week). I took booster shots each week for white count; had a transfusion for red; and drank daily cup of papaya leaf tea with addition of papaya extract for platelets. Now I am focusing on blood counts improving to where

Diagnosed at 30

My mom has HCC
I want to share my mom’s fight against HCC, she got Hepatitis C through a blood transfusion when she was only a teenager, she had successfully gone through very harsh treatments to kill the hepatitis C virus in her late 60s and has been virus free and able to enjoy life for couple of years afterwards

Begging for help
Hi, I’m 33 and from Melbourne, Australia I have always been the sick kid for as long as I can remember. At age 18 months I was diagnosed with severely low playlets and required transfusions. Luckily this rectified as I got older. Growing up I had asthma, allergies, hay fever and allergies to animals

Anyone else having to battle each time they need an iron infusion?
I’ve had PA since I was a teenager, although it took them years to identify it and I was 23 by the time I received my first loading doses. The main reason they missed the PA was due to an ongoing iron anaemia which was disguising the cell shapes on blood tests. The B12 was treated but the iron issue

Thomas is at home!
Some good news here, Thomas was discharged the week before last and has been settling in well at home. Matthew is still in hospital and now weighs 2lb 13oz. He's been quite up and down and has had two blood transfusions, a few rounds of antibiotics etc etc. We don't yet have a discharge plan for him

Lab results - PA?
Hi, Since this April I've been dealing with depression, anxiety, and starting in July I experienced extreme fatigue (couldn't sit up at my work desk) and passing out when standing for than 10 minutes. I thought the fatigue was a result of the depression and the fainting was because of the fatigue but

Fathers update
My dad has been in the ICU the past 2 days. Things began to decline on Thursday. While he was at City of hope getting his weekly Labs for Lu-177-PSMA Trial. His Hemoglobin dropped to 7.5 and he required 2 Units of blood. This is a known side effect of the Lu177 especially with bone/ marrow metastasis

Experiencing postpartum psychosis.
I thought I'd post here about my experience with postpartum psychosis. In 2012 I had a miscarriage and subsequently found out I had uterus didelphys. This is two wings and the septum continued down into my vagina. I had already suffered with depression for ten years and was very depressed at this time

Fluids, blood transfusion and CA125
Hi lovely people. I’ve had fluids today in hospital as well as yesterday as I’m dehydrated. I was supposed to have cisplatin yesterday but had fluids instead. I’ve got to go next week for a blood transfusion. Then hopefully I can have that horrible cisplatin. My CA125 is now 700. It’s gone from
