Recently started Acalabrutinib
He has had a packed cell transfusion and two
platelet
transfusions
, whilst awaiting a PET scan for confirmation that the disease has not changed (richters). All this developed within a span of 2 months which the doctors did not expect and hence the current drop in Hb and platelets.

Low Platelet Count - 114,000
Note that I have done a search on this website for such information but have not come across any information on specific medications, other than possible
platelet
transfusions
(for patients with levels below 20,000).

Platelets dropped after obinituzumab and won't rise even after transfusion 🚨
Dear all, First of all, thank you very much for all the help and care I have always found on HealthUnlocked. I had my first infusion of obinituzumab and in my case, mainly due to my nephrotic syndrome kidney problem, I had a few problems. High fevers, which are common Attacks of hiccups that last

Robust PSA Drops With Radionuclide Therapy in CRPCa— All but one patient had a PSA decline after a fractionated dose of 225Ac-J591
In a phase II trial, a single dose of 177Lu-J591 achieved better results with a higher dose, including almost a doubling of median survival, but more than half of patients developed grade 4 thrombocytopenia, and 40% received

Pluvicto and Hemaglobin
After doing another blood test on Friday, my hemoglobin is already down to 7.9 and the
Platelet
count is down to 26k. I could end up having
transfusions
every week or two at the rate I'm going. Anyone else having these issues?

Need advice on clinical trial RO7656594
I have updated our profile, but in a nutshell we've gone through abiraterone, Xtandi, docetaxel, Pluvicto , cabazitaxel and carboplatin. My husband's most recent PSA on 4/12 was 79.52. His MO has put a hold on chemo our last 3 appointments due to pancytopenia. He's received 2 blood transfusions on his

New Drug may be relevant to MF, ET
A new drug for pulmonary hypertension, (PAH) Sotatercept, has just been approved. PAH is not a typical MPN worry, but it has side effects that may be relevant to MPN. It can increase Hb and decrease PLT. These are listed as adverse effects in the label. Some researchers made the MPN connection.

Lupus or another Autoimmune Disease?
I’m 50 yr old female with issues, RLS, Hashimotos, Autoimmune Atrophic Chronic Gastritis, intestinal Metaplasia, Iron Deficiency Anemia w/transfusions, B12 deficiency, and now this horrible hip and joint pain.

Please advise - symptoms worsening
Hi all, As you may remember from previous posts, I’m still borderline anaemic and so I increased my iron dosage as per instructions several weeks ago. My FT3 has also plummeted from a decade average of 6 to now 4.8 (range 3.1-6.8) I’m getting horrific migraines (they start with blinding auras). I stopped

Still on hold for stem cell transplant
David has now completed 3 cycles of Vidaza. He had a bone marrow biopsy several weeks ago. At first we thought the results were good, that his cancer cells had been reduced sufficiently to proceed with transplant. After our local oncologist spoke to the transplant specialist at Mayo, we received word

Is there hope despite the pain? Is Cabometyx worth it?
My 63 year old husband LD stopped Cabo (Cabometyx) when we had Covid (because we took Paxlovid). Now he doesn't want to start up again because of side effects we believe are caused by the Cabo: jaw pain and numbness, body aches, tingling in extremities, pain in the shoulder joint emanating down his arm

Ruxalinitib for MF2
I would love to hear anyone’s experience with Rux. How soon did you notice a difference? Which were the most obvious side effects? How low did they allow platelets to go and other bloods, before dose adjustments or transfusions? Any replies much appreciated!

Better Understanding
I knew and expressed here that I was fearful of crashing this winter as I have since 1995 to varying degrees. I had set a marker of April 01 as a measure. I was successful although I will wait until April 01 to see it in my rear view mirror, and have a celebration although I am already celebrating. Some

Heading down hospice road too…
I’m so sorry to hear about your dad 😢 I’m in a very similar situation with my dad, age 71, Gleason 9 with Mets to bone, lungs, lymph nodes and now a tumor in his bladder. Zytiga worked for him for years, but last January started with more bone Mets and lymph nodes, zytiga restarted and failed. Tried
