So what is a Neutropenic Diet? Why should we follow it post treatment?
For people with severely compromised immune systems, food can be a source of infection when pathogens can enter the body, multiply and cause opportunistic infections. These infections are much more serious for people who have lower-than-normal neutrophil counts, such as people receiving treatment for

Is there anyone who'se had a stem cell transplant prepared to help me?
I'm due to have a stem cell transplant very soon as part of a clinical trial. I've got lots of technical info but I'd like to talk informally about the procedure & living with immuno-suppresents afterwards. Any takers? Talking to a doctor over a cup of tea might help but they're not willing to do so

Daily Mail features Giant Cell Arteritis
Now, the Daily Mail isn't normally my favourite newspaper, but today it definitely is. The Mail has published a long and really good feature on Giant Cell Arteritis, the tragedy of people who lose their sight because of it not being diagnosed, and the scandal of doctors who don't see what is right in

A great source of information on treatment of Sickle Cell in the UK
Many of you are probably aware of NHS Choices as resource for information about Sickle Cell Disorders, but if you aren’t you can find a basic overview here: http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Sickle-cell-anaemia/Pages/Introduction.aspx . It provides an overview of the disorders, as well as going more in depth

Bone Marrow Transplants
I know this is off topic, but I think it is something that is really important. Adrian Sudbury started a petition to make it compulsory for kids to learn about bone marrow and plateleys donation. He's trying to get to 10,000 signitures by the 23rd of this month! Give him a hand people! http://petitions.pm.gov.uk

Is it life changing?........
Cancer has touched a number of family members throughout my life - not that long at 44, but it really affected me most when my Mother was diagnosed at 50 and died at 51. I must admit, it had a pretty profound affect on me and my family and although it was over 15 years ago it still remains with

Hi.I have had WG for just over 4 years now. I have been on Rhituximab for just
over a year and I have been told that I will probably need to have a bone marrow transplant. Has anyone else needed this procedure for WG. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
