Iron levels
I am wondering if my Parkinson's was caused by 2 iron transfusions I had around 5 years ago, with my first symptons appearing (in retrospect) around 4 years ago. Has anyone else had issues with iron levels that have required treatment?

I am a 69 year old male. I was diagnosed with nonspecific myeloproliferative disorder in 2009. Twelve months ago, following declining red blood cell counts and a bone marrow biopsy, diagnosis of myelofibrosis was made. I initially started on hydroxyurea and prednisolone, but after four months Jakafi

Has anyone been on Cisplatin (with/without Etoposide)?
A few days ago I asked if anyone had experienced pain with Caelyx but turned out mine is due the cancer having spread and the 4 months of Carbo/Caelyx I've been having, not worked(2nd time around). Consultant is suggesting (last resort? I've had this cancer 5 years) Cisplatin with Etoposide tablets but

Severe anemia
Since diagnosis at the beginning of May I have completed three rounds of FCR treatments. The first cycle went well and before second cycle my blood counts were close to normal (low lymphs). After second cycle everything started to go down and my third round was put off for two weeks while my counts improved
