Ruxolitinib and Hydroxycarbamide
Hi everyone as I posted befor I was on hydroxycarbamide for 16 years. I got worse during covid and was not being seen by haematology only phone calls. My platelets kept going up and they kept putting my hydroxycarbamide up. When I was seen they started me on Ruxolitinib I did well at first but could

Is MBL the same as CLL stage 0?
hi. I recently got diagnosed with MBL and I’m reading a lot about CLL stage zero on this board. I’m a little confused with the terminology. I’m trying to understand if it is the same thing or not can anyone help?

What does bone pain feel like?
My bf keeps having this recurrent pain in his elbow. I know CLL can cause bone pain but how would he know if that’s what he’s experiencing?

has anyone gotten a rash on their feet from hydroxyurea or just having thrombocytosis
I am reaching out to you wonderful people again. I have a red blotchy rash on my feet and have had this for a year. Someone called it micro vascular but I am not too sure what that is or if this is correct. I have been taking hydroxyurea since the fall of 2020, I have essential thrombocytosis jak

update
we’ll I had THE meeting with my haematologist yesterday with my son supporting me. Our meeting lasted the best part of 2 hours (!) during which we thrashed out many of the uncomplimentary things I had said about him. It never needed to escalate to the level it did if he had explained that Claire Harrison

so tired…
Good morning. I was diagnosed in December 2022 with mild CLL. My problem is that I am so tired all the time I just don’t feel myself. But the doctors tell me that I’m fine and that it’s not from the CLL. I looked on the Internet and I saw that fatigue is common in all stages of CLL. Not sure if there

Myelofibrosis and fedratinib
Just needing a bit of a moan. I've had high risk MF now for many years. Last year I was assessed for STC transplant but was told I was not robust enough so as I am now over 70 and resident in Scotland, that is no longer an option for me. No transplants available for the over 70s apparently. I had been

Life beyond Myelofibrosis
I progressed from ET to Myelofibrosis a couple of years ago. I had an enlarged spleen and ruxolitinib lowered the platelets too much so I was switched to fedratinib. Depending on what predictive tool was used, I had a median predicted life span of between 2 and 14 years - not terribly helpful! I was

Dietary Interventions and CLL - a case report
For those of you who are interested in dietary changes and CLL, I found an interesting clinical case report called "Stable improvement in classical B‐cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia with dietary interventions: A personal experience" by Dr. Pooij and his treating hematologist Dr. Raemaekers. The case

Besremi
I keep thinking of additional questions to ask here in addition to my previous posts about Jakafi.When my oncologist suggested that I start this drug after trying to take HU, I suggested Besremi? He said he can't get it although he's tried several places? I'm confused? Is it not offered in

Ruxolitinib plus Hydrea
Hi everyone I was supposed to start on IFN but my heamatologist is asking other consultants if Ruxolitinib and hydrea can be combined. Was on hydrea for Sixteen years but stopped controlling my platelets. Now on Ruxolitinib but can’t tolerate a high dose. She thinking lower dose both. Has anyone tried

While on Watch and Wait
When you are newly diagnosed with CLL , is it normal to be placed on W&W and not be given the following test, FISH , TP53 , AND IGHV ? My GP did have me see the oncologist , who order the Leukemia/Lymphoma Eval. and a Flow Cytometry test. It sounds like some Doctors only order the test when
