What happens when you end tocilizumab
I have GCA and PMR , plus a few other conditions.. I am on Prednisolone, Azothioprine and tocilizumab . I am getting towards the end of the tocilizumab injections as the aim is to get to 7 mg Pred and I am about to reduce to 9 mgs. The tocilizumab has done wonders with unreadably low CRP and ESR of 3

CD19 CAR-T cell therapy for B-ALL achieved remarkable efficacy with a complete remission of 70–90%
This looks interesting but way over my knowledge base. Perhaps some of you super brains can figure this out. In recent years, the increasing advancements and applications of cellular immunotherapy have enabled the use of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy, and it has emerged as an efficacious

I'm currently on Tocilizumab for GCA under the direction of a specialist physician. I was on 20mg Pred when I started the Tocilizumab which I have injected every 2 weeks. I'm on my third week right now. I was instructed to reduce Pred 5mg every 2 weeks and reduce again 5mg 3 weeks , which is

Lower Abdominal pain and Tocilizumab
Tocilizumab side effects: The main thing I have noticed is a proneness to infection, like UTIs, sinus, nasal and Blepharitis. This will be because my immunity is so firmly suppressed what with Prednisalone and Tocilizumab. I was able to quickly get down from 40 mgs of Pred to 10 mgs without the usual

Cord blood donation Northern Ireland
Does anyone know much about this? I’m very early on in pregnancy but heard about this years ago when beother in law had to have a stem cell transplant. I’m not sure if it’s available in Northern Ireland. Does it have to be donated or can it be froze for possible future use for child?

10 Years With CLL: Two Trials & Lifesaving CAR T-Cell Therapy
I rarely cross post to Patient Power but today there is a story by a fellow CLL patient I have known for many years as DebinOz. She is one of the few I know of with a more aggressive form of CLL than mine. And I think she has more air miles than my 750,000 with United. Len - See: https://patientpower.info

Happy to be here!
With everything that's been going on with my lung disease over the past few years, I often forget just how fortunate I am to still be here. In September 2003 I was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukaemia at the age of 18. I was totally blindsided and the future looked bleak. The amazing treatments

Life expectancy with MF
Hello, all. I was diagnosed with post ET MF in 2019, after having been diagnosed with ET jak 2 in 2008. In 2019, I had my second BMB where it was confirmed I had progressed to MF, intermediate 1. I had a third BMB last September to determine whether I was a candidate for a bone marrow transplant. At

Normal blood levels mean anything?
I generally have normal b12 levels in the 500-600 range but have symptoms that mimic b12 deficiency. Sometimes my folate levels are low and I supplement there but was wondering if b12 injections are the next step. My doctor did a parietal cell antibody test and that was high at 30 but mma was below

Sudden Lymph Node Enlargement

Liver function tests with Tocilizumab.
My Liver function tests are slightly out of range (0-35) mine were 42 last time and 46 recently. My Rheumatologist proposes that I come off Tocilizumab and start Methotrexate . It was my understanding that Metotrexate also caused raised liver enzymes. I don’t want to alienate my lovely Rheumatologist

Summary Paper from Drs, Claire N. Harrison and Donal P. McLornan
Nice summary I just came across from some of the experts. I've included some outtakes I found notable. Lots more in there on R&D for MF. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/bjh.16573 From chart, HCT control matters. This was discovered ~2011 and is likely a big part of what we've discussed

Hey experts … PMRpro, DorsetLady et al, My local Member of Parliament has just visited me to get information to put to our Federal Health Minister in an attempt to get an exemption so that I can have my allocation of tocilizumab extended, or indeed get the drug made available as it is for RA. Among
